People go to Cemetery to snorkel but there are no facilities. Sea Grape is full service, food, drinks, restroom, showers, etc. some limited snorkeling a few 100 yds up the beach.

We were at Cemetery Beach last week. There are definitely no facilities, but a beautiful beach! We went about 100 yards or so off shore (a little ways out) and snorkeled, lots of fish swimming right up to your mask! We absolutelu loved the beach and would definitely go back, but if you want facilities, food, etc, Sea Grape would be better. We took bottled water and there is a little grocery store just a little bit back down the road, Foster's I believe, where you could get sandwiches, etc. We just caught the local bus just down the street from the port area ($2.50 one way) to the beach. There is a bus stand just across the street from the access path to the beach, so we just walked back up to it and within a minute another bus was coming by to take us back downtown. Here's a couple pictures of the beach.

Is the store Fosters past Cemetary beach or before we get off the bus? Is it on the beach side of the road? We want to stop and get a few drinks and snacks for the beach. How far of a walk is it?

Thanks for your help

We are interested in this, too. From a map it appears that Foster's Food Fair grocery store is about 1500 feet north of the bus stop at Cemetery Beach (going toward Hell and the Turtle Farm, which are at the north end of the island). The grocery store appears to be on the beach side of the road.
