ssbeard1 Posted July 21, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 21, 2018 This is our first time to coco cay. If we were to be the first off the boat where would we need to look for shade? Do they have a tram that takes you to different parts of the island. We currently have a cabana reserved, but was thinking about canceling that. It will be 4 adults with no children involved. Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanciRDH Posted July 25, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 25, 2018 We usually head to the beach near the jet ski area. It's a short walk from the tender pier, and has plenty of trees for shade. Or not if any in your group want a bit of sun. We like this area because it's usually not crowded, so its quieter, but still close enough to lunch and bathrooms.

cb at sea Posted July 27, 2018 #3 Share Posted July 27, 2018 You don't need to rush. There are plenty of trees for shade. You can move your chairs where you want them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley525 Posted July 27, 2018 #4 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Good to know! Last year I booked a bed for shade reasons, (my dad died from melanoma and I’m more at risk so have to stay out of sun as much as possible) and I didn’t like the beach there. So I’m going to just find a chair with shade.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssbeard1 Posted August 2, 2018 Author #5 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Thanks for info. We just returned from Disney a few months back and there was very limited shade on their private island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBD1516 Posted August 2, 2018 #6 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Find Columbus Beach. There is a fair amount of shade there. We like the calm water there to swim in. And there’s a lunch station there. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lswilmot Posted August 3, 2018 #7 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Does anyone have a map of Coco Cay with the areas identified. We go in 4 weeks, and as I will still be having chemo treatments will need to know where:cool: the shady areas (like previously mentioned) are located. Thanks to all for any help, Lori:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giantfan13 Posted August 5, 2018 #8 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Good to know! Last year I booked a bed for shade reasons, (my dad died from melanoma and I’m more at risk so have to stay out of sun as much as possible) and I didn’t like the beach there. So I’m going to just find a chair with shade.. We were on CoCo Cay in February and I asked the same exact question. I have had 2 cases of melanoma, both caught early enough, so when we do go to these islands, we always sit in the shade. We do not swim or snorkel, so we don't rush off the ship to 'get a good spot'. Again, I asked that very question about finding shade. . When we did arrive on the island, we walked a bit to the right until we came to areas that weren't very crowded and there were plenty of lounges where you could move them anywhere, specifically under a palm tree for shade. I was very worried about that, but believe me, no need to fret, even take your time getting off, if that is your pleasure, and you will find shade around the island.
