bobsynth Posted September 28, 2012 #1 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Anyone got a recomendation for a nice beach, with chair and umbrella rentals and food, near the cruises ship? A short taxi ride would be fine also. We will be there on a Sunday so we want to avoid large crowds, if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aimodels Posted September 29, 2012 #3 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Boatyard is near the north end of Carlisle Bay. Do a Google Image search - it's an amazing mile-long stretch of paradise... There are a few other bars along the beach. Carlisle Bay ends at Needham's Point to the south, right at the Hilton. If you're looking for a great fish sandwich, check out Cuz' fish shack at Needham's Point. Cheers, P:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobsynth Posted September 29, 2012 Author #4 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Thanks. The boat yard it will be. We've been to Barbados twice before but always toured the island and caves. We're looking forward to just chilling at the beach. We'll be there in Jan. The ship has a tour for $29, but it's either too late or too early. Anyway, we'll grab a cab $4/pp and pay the $12 admission and get the free cab back toi the ship, on our time schedule, and save $26 to boot. LOL.

Herfnerd Posted September 29, 2012 #5 Share Posted September 29, 2012 The $12 admission to The Boatyard also includes a drink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUDIMAY1 Posted September 30, 2012 #6 Share Posted September 30, 2012 The tiki hut that you get your free drink has good food also. Very nice place to chill. We did not walk down the beach but there are other places. Lobster Alive was next door. It looked like a shack but gets some good reviews on trip advisor. The beach is close enough to see your ship.

debshomespun Posted October 5, 2012 #7 Share Posted October 5, 2012 We have been to Lobster Alive, and the Boatyard. They are about the same. We paid less money for our chairs at Lobster Alive, and they have clean bathrooms. Also, they have some of the very largest Lobsters on display that I have ever seen. They were 2, 3 or even 4 lbs each! Huge. Depends on just what you want for your day. I prefer a little more quiet. The Boatyard tends to get very busy when cruise ships are in port. This stretch of beach is absolutely gorgeous! We will be back the February, and are looking at just going to the beach. Not sure if we will just walk back over to Carlisle Bay (which we usually do), or try out one of the other beaches. Then, we will have to figure out if we want to go to another beach, and which one! decisions, decisions. . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimodels Posted October 6, 2012 #8 Share Posted October 6, 2012 If you're looking for something a little different, you can always check out Accra or Rockley. They are about 10-15 minutes south of Carlisle Bay (by bus) right on Hwy.7. Very quick and easy to get to... Cheers, P:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just back Lobster Alive charges $7.00 per chair (x2) & $7.00 for the umbrella ($21.00 total).

Daycare Provider Posted November 2, 2012 #10 Share Posted November 2, 2012 We love the Boatyard...the swing off the pier is awesome....the food, drinks, and service are top notch...the pre-paid ride back is well worth the $12.00 pp. The sand is soft..not like a powder but still very soft..trampoline and ice burg right off the shore to climb on..

Thanks you your help. Yes, you can walk it - but it seems long in the tropical sun... You might want to start out walking to see how your doing - - you won't have any shortage of taxi's stopping by as you walk to gove you a ride. Once you get away from the peer - it'll cost about $2.00 a person (if they quote more - ask for it - - they - or someone will do it). After we were done with our day at Lobster A (& pooped) - we were offered a $5.00 per person trip back - I told them that we were going to head out because roadside we were getting $2.00 offers. She grabbed it - and off we went ~ PS: We chose to walk the whole way to Lobster A, it took maybe 20-30 minutes PS: Note that the last couple blocks don't have good sidewalks along the road - so be careful ~ enester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xcitdcruiser Posted November 21, 2012 #17 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I was wondering whether the Boatyard has lockers that can be used? Is there a fee? I assume you bring yoru own lock....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
