alleyne's bay & taking the bus

[conbon78]

We took a taxi from the port to Alleyne's Bay (by the Lonestar restaurant). This is where a lot of the snorkel trips go to find the sea turtles. Unfortunately, we didn't see any turtles, but we were able to swim out to the boats and look around. The beach was beautiful and the area was very nice. The Lonestar restaurant is pretty fancy, so we rented beach chairs ($7 per chair) from The Top Deck, which was next door. They had a full bar, restrooms, and really friendly staff. Since it is about 20 minutes from the port, we would have had to either call a cab or take the bus. The bartender took us out and showed us where to pick up the bus. It was $1 per person and they accepted USD. The bus took you directly into Bridgetown. You get off at the Terminal, which is obvious because it's an outdoor bus station. Then you walk across the street to the water and walk to the port, probably about 0.5 miles. It wasn't far or a long walk. I would take the bus again as it was actually really easy. Another thing that I would do in the future is going shopping around Holetown. It's a very cute town with a bunch of shops directly across from the beach.
