Tdkrinty Posted June 19, 2018 #1 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Is there a beach within walking distance when you get off the ship? Thanks, heading there for the first time this December :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CherryG Posted July 1, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 1, 2018 No, but if you exit the ship and go to the taxi area (can't miss it), ask them to take you to Blue Bay. It's fairly close and there are facilities to change, eat and for about $10 each, you get admission as well as a lounger and an umbrella. If you book through the ship to take you there, it is much more. We did this last year and it worked out perfectly. If you scuba dive, they do dives from there. Curacao doesn't have the long, beautiful beaches of say Aruba, but Blue Bay was very nice and great swimming. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CherryG Posted August 5, 2018 #4 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Can’t remember exactly, but I don’t imagine it was very much. I know we ended up taking the taxi with another couple who were waiting for a taxi and that saved money. Probably only $10 or 15 per couple. You tell the taxi when to pick you up, as they aren’t allowed to just line up at this beach. It’s quite lovely and the lunch we bought there was very good and reasonable. Change rooms and showers are there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mingus Posted August 23, 2018 #5 Share Posted August 23, 2018 It's a 30 min (1.5 mi) walk from the Mega Cruise Terminal to the Avila Beach Hotel. They have 2 very nice, man-made lagoons with nice sand and decent snorkeling, both inside & outside of the breakwater. It's about $10pp and includes loungers, umbrellas, showers & restrooms.

tropicqueen Posted August 30, 2018 #8 Share Posted August 30, 2018 We were just there in July and were told by a local, that they had just opened a new beach right by the cruise port. Most the ships dock along The new docks down past the old Fort. We had docked in the river before by the swinging bridge. I don't think they do that any more. It is somewhat of a walk into the city center. Unfortunately, I did not see where exactly the new Beach is. My son and family did go to Blue beach. It is nice, but quite a drive and taxis are not cheap. Hopefully, this new beach will be a nice addition to a already friendly port.
