Great Bay beach is nearest to the port and has documented pollution issues.

 

I have seen crew at Orient Beach in the past. There are several nice beaches only a short taxi ride from the port. Take a look at http://www.karakterbeach.com/. Simpson Bay beach is a beautiful and underrated and underused beach on the island.

Great Bay is a nice place to have a drink and lay out, but, as Karysa mentions, there is documented pollution and not a safe place to swim.

Free chairs and umbrellas if you buy food/drinks as well. :)

A couple of questions.

1. Can the bar not call a cab for you?

2. Do you remember the cost of the cab?

 

Thanks.

They probably could call the cab, and it was maybe $20 back to the ship

Whatever happened to this great little bar that was right on the beach when you get off the water taxi? Someone told me it is gone??????

 

They had about 100 flavored daiquiris listed on their menu. It was a great place to hang out before taking the water taxi back to ship.

 

If it is gone, are there any others places like that near the pier?

Do we need to take water taxi to boardwalk Ive heard it's within easy walking distance

You can walk to the beginning (Eastern end) of the Boardwalk in 15 - 20 minutes.

 

The quick (6 minute) Water Taxi to the center of shopping is nice, as it provides a Photo Op of Great Bay, Philipsburg and the ships at the Cruise Facility, but often the wait to purchase tickets and wait for the boat to be fully boarded is longer than what the walk would take.

p.s. They sell (relatively) cheep beers on board :)
