Brewers Bay Question

[tx_sweetpea]

My goal for my upcoming cruise is to enjoy the beach. After doing research, I think Brewers Bay is my choice while in Tortola. I notice it is not as crowded as other options, which is very appealing to me. I have a couple questions. Are there chair and/or umbrellas to rent? If so, how much? Is there shade?

 

THANKS!!

[Warrior64]

yes, there are chairs to rent fof $5 but didnt see umbrellas.there are trees at one end of the beach for shade. It is a beautful beach with amazing snorkeling!!!!

Yes, as posted, chairs are for rent and you won't need an umbrella because there is ample shade from trees. No problem for either sun or shade.

 

Have a wonderful time! :)

Brerwe's is probably the ideal beach for you if you want a beach bar and those amenities (restrooms, drinks & food, and lounge chairs). Nicole's is famous for his burger.

If you want a beach almost all to yourself (very few cruisers, if any) Smuggler's Cove is gorgeous. That's where we go when there's a ship in port. But no vendors or amenities, you'd want to grab a baguette sub from the French Deli in town and wine or beer and take a picnic. Their meats and cheeses are imported and are unbelievable.

But for an easier day with a few more of your fellow cruisemates Brewer's is very nice. Much better than busy CGB for sure! Have a great day on our favorite island!

Our visit to Brewers Bay was the highlight of our cruise. Snorkeling was amazing. I have a short video of some of what we saw on youtube. Here is the link

Brewer's Bay and Smuggler's Cove offer the best snorkeling on Tortola. And aren't the names great?

I know we can taxi to brewers for about 24pp round trip. What is the price for Smugglers?

[blue_water]

Brewer's = $24 each way for 1 person, $12pp for 2, and $8pp for 3 or more.

Smuggler's = $32, $16, and $12.

These are one-way prices.

We were at Brewers Bay last week. Nice beach, lot of rocks mixed in with the sand. Plenty of shade, no need for an umbrella. Water was really nice kind of a quick drop off, but then a nice sand bar that allowed you to walk out a ways. Not too crowded 1st thing, but did get more people later in the morning. I would go back. I heard Smugglers is much nicer but no amenities.

Yes, Smuggler's once had a great grill and bar (Patricia's) nut no longer, you have to bring lunch and drinks, the French Deli is excellent.
