take beer to the beach?

[bmdlover]

Seems that there are a number of comments about the pricey drinks at the beach bars. Is it permitted to bring beer to the beach? If so, is there some place near the dock to pick some up?

 

Inquiring minds want to know!

You can stop at the supermarket and pick up beer. The supermarkets are all clustered together on the right hand side heading towards Eagle and Palm Beaches.

beer in the grocery stores is expensive also. A case of budweiser is like 40 american!!! The local beer is a bit cheaper but smaller cans.

Hmmmm...not good news. We were hoping the beers in port would be less than on the ship. Sounds like they're even higher. :(

It is certainly cheaper to purchase any alcohol at the store than from a beach bar.

Good questions. I have the same questions, specifically about Moomba.

I hope we get an answer! ;)

Not sure on the price of beers at MoomBa. Check their website though to get an idea of what they offer

Bugaloe is on the end of De Palm Pier. Great spot with water on three sides. Their beers seems pretty reasonable http://www.bugaloe.com/content.php

we were at Amsterdam Manor and we think that the 8 oz Balashi was at least $6....it was the same price we paid for a margarita or tequilla sunrise. The small beer was nice as it did stay cold until gone :)

We were in Aruba last week. If you go to Palm beach the beer at the bar is very expensive, they wanted $7 for a beer, but if you walk inside the Radison hotel from the beach, they have a convenience store next to their jewlery store. You can buy your cold beer from the fridge there, for a much better price. For the local beer the price was $3 and for the imported, such has coors light the price was $3.50 a beer...much cheaper then anywhere else. We bought a few at a time and kept them in our lunch bag. The Radison also has a bar and the price there was $5 a beer.

if you go to the beach bar at playa linda they have happy hour from 12 till 5 every day. 4 balashi beers in a bucket for 12 dollars, and two drinks for 7 which is alot cheaper than the pier at the holiday inn.

[ArubaGal]

Mini Market inside of Playa Linda on Palm Beach also sells beer. Balashi is refreshing...no need to spend top dollar for Bud or Corona...step outside the box!!!!

[ArubaGal]

Stop by the beach bar at far side of Playa Linda, close to Holiday Inn side, and say hi to Claudia...she is by far one of the best!!!!

While you can generally take your own beer to the beach at Moomba's there is a sign specifically prohibiting bringing your own.

Yes she is the best. She makes awesome pina coladas and also gives nice big glasses of wine.

You can take your own beer on the beach just not the bar and restaurant area. They have a good happy hour in the evening not sure during the day.

So, to go to Playa Linda, can you just show up? Do you have to make ressie's? Anyone know the cost? Is it as good as Amsterdam Manor? How far from the ship? Sorry, I have many questions!:o

Playa Linda is a timeshare on Palm Beach. The chairs and palapas there are only for their resort guests. The beach there is not very wide and I don't think they rent their chairs to people who are not staying there. They have a small beach bar named Claudia's. I think when people are talking about Playa Linda they are referring to the beach bar, Claudia's. Its a funky little bar.
