Rare Cruzinforpeace*** Posted August 1 #1 Share Posted August 1 (edited) It’s gorgeous here today but wondering if anyone knows why Lighthouse Beach is closed today. I haven’t been able to get any answers. My suspicion is “sharks”. There’s a lot of checking of the nets at the various beaches by staff.

JAGR Posted August 2 #5 Share Posted August 2 May it's closed because they are moving it "closer" as your post title suggests! 😉 Once they get the location right, they'll open it again! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes! Maybe that’s it! (Darn autocorrect and the ship’s wonky wifi). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crbonfiber Posted August 10 #8 Share Posted August 10 Shark net is damaged and needs to be fixed before they let swimmers in, I have no clue how long it will take Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ended up probably swimming with the sharks on the unguarded beach next to Lighthouse Beach. It was beautiful but risky I’m sure.

runner15km Posted August 12 #11 Share Posted August 12 Passengers saw two sharks swimming at the bow of the ship on my Feb, 2024 cruise to the private island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropicale Posted August 12 #12 Share Posted August 12 It was closed when I went the week of July 22. The tram driver told us it is because they are dredging to allow the larger cruise ship in ( New one that is being built). It was closed for swimming during the day, but it was open at night for the light show and beach party. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare GPPhilly Posted August 13 #13 Share Posted August 13 It is a shame that they do not have it opened. It is the closest beach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dns20 Posted August 20 #14 Share Posted August 20 I too saw the broken net and thought that is the reason for Lighthouse beach closure. When I asked a worker at the Lighthouse beach, he said it is "for safety from the new Yacht Club island construction machineries, etc" I think it's just an excuse, the Yacht Club island being built is north of the pier and nowhere near the Lighthouse beach.

LorraineP Posted August 20 #16 Share Posted August 20 First time hearing about YC island. When will it be completed? Staying in YC 2nd week of October 2024. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dns20 Posted August 20 #17 Share Posted August 20 There is a new island being built just north of the pier, right now it's just pile of soil with construction truck on it. I asked what it was and they said it was going to be the new Yacht Club island with a bridge to the main island (similar to the North Island). As far as the Lighthouse beach being closed (" because of the construction"), they said it will be at least 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
