There are tons of threads just below this one with detailed descriptions of the beaches you can choose from. And there is no reason to book an excursion through the ship, taxis are lined up to whisk folk to the different beaches and will be at the popular beaches to bring you back.

 

The question is, what are you looking for in a nice beach day? A nice, quiet beach with fewer fellow cruise mates, and very limited amenities? Gorgeous Brewers Bay has a beach bar. Or a beach where most of your fellow cruisers will go and you have access to all the amenities you want? CGB has several beach restaurants and rentals, webcams below. Or something more secluded with perhaps a vendor selling drinks and food?

 

The more popular beaches are a 20 minute, $8/pp  taxi over the spine of the island, either by a shared safari taxi or private.
