LaShelle2 Posted March 13, 2012 #1 Share Posted March 13, 2012 this is from youtube - seems crowded and the beach not very pretty? Is it nicer in real life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FL Naturelover Posted March 14, 2012 #2 Share Posted March 14, 2012 What do you mean? Doesn't look crowed at all. So pretty can't wait to go there, leaving in 10 days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaShelle2 Posted March 14, 2012 Author #3 Share Posted March 14, 2012 just thought it was more secluded and private. Is it prettier in person. It looks drab on the videos. Maybe a bad camera?:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limeyalchemist Posted March 14, 2012 #4 Share Posted March 14, 2012 This is how it looked a year ago when we were there. Didn't feel crowded, but not private. We loved it so much we are going back in 7 days! We have three young girls who love been able to watch the dolphins as well nearby for no extra charge. (It's extra to do dolphin encounters obviously) This is a great excursion and with a lot of cruise ships in port, might be a quieter choice than Atlantis.

bostonbill Posted March 14, 2012 #5 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I think Blue lagoon is primarily a destination to visit and interact with Sea lions and Dolphins with a beach as an add on... and I wouldn't consider it as a somewhere to go just for the beach....IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go for the beach all the time. its a beautiful island, great for chilling out. If you don't have kids..just wander down the path a bit. It's more relaxing.

Can you climb to the top of the tower? I want to get some photos from up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they want you in it by yourself.. you can ask when you get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FL Naturelover Posted March 15, 2012 #9 Share Posted March 15, 2012 How can we find out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaShelle2 Posted March 15, 2012 Author #10 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Can you book the observer pass to have access to the beach? We don't need food included. Neither of us have any interest in interacting with the marine life. We just want to watch and enjoy the beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canusa02 Posted March 15, 2012 #11 Share Posted March 15, 2012 We booked the beach and lunch at Blue Lagoon one day last week, and found the beach to be nice. We were one of the earliest groups there, so we had our choice of beach spots. I'm not sure if the mid/late morning group found it crowded or not. The water was a little chilly, but easy enough to get used to. The only real downer was the cost of snack food and beverages was a little high, even for beach prices. If we do it again, we'll definitely take some protein bars, chips, etc. with us. Have a great trip!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have that booked through Carnival but you can also book it directly with Blue Lagoon. I only did Carnival because of timing issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most northerns using have no problem with water temps down here. Unlike me, I'm originally from Massachusetts and have to wait until it's about 80 degrees. Don't even ask about when I visit everyone back home. Brrrrr. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
