Any recent visitors to Carlisle?

We went there last year. Swam out to the turtles. Had great cutters. Very convenient to get to. Everything was great...but. There was a venue which was playing music so loudly that it disrupted the whole atmosphere. We will go back there in a couple months if the blasting music is no longer the case.

 

Thanks

 

Happy Sails to You

It's a lively beach close to the port. We were there last in July and it was busy even with only 2 ships in port. Try going a little further away from the port if you are looking for a quieter atmosphere. Perhaps Mullins would give you what you are looking for.

Thanks for the tip. We really liked it there-particularly swimming out to the turtles, but the music was just too loud. Can you do that at Mullins?

Good question. I know that boat operators go to Paynes beach and take people out the short distance to swim with the turtles there. Mullins is close to Paynes so the boat trip would be short but I am not certain if any boat owners frequent Mullins looking for people who want to go and swim with the turtles. Perhaps someone here will now the answer to this question.:)

The last time we were at Mullins (3 years ago) there were a couple of local guys with boats taking folks out to the turtles. Not sure about now...

try Harbor Lights which is also on Carlsie, but farther down the beach. There is The Boatyard, Lobster Alive, and then Harbor Lights. They all have websites.

We were in the Harbor Lights area (got great cutters there) but the music was still blaring from way down the beach. Maybe it was a special occasion of some sort.

 

Thanks to all for your feedback.

We were at Carlisle Beach two weeks ago and didn't have any loud music (which I hate at the beach).

Anyone been to The Boatyard recently ?

 

Last time we were in Bridgetown overnight they were doing an all you can drink package with a live group, is this still on the program ?

 

Also anyone tried Fish Fryday at The Boatyard ?

We were at Carlisle about 12 days ago and had a wonderful day. Since we had our own snorkel gear we simply swam out from the beach to the area where there are many sea turtles. This is where all the tour boats bring their passengers (who pay lots of money) but for those who are comfortable swimming some distance can easily get to the area for free. There was no loud music (or any music) on the beach during our visit.

 

As to Boatyard, folks should be aware that Carlisle is actually on the same beach as Boatyard...but there is no admission fee. At Carlisle you can rent 2 chairs plus umbrella for no more then $20 (you might get them down to $15) and there is a nice restaurant complex with food, booze, and rest rooms.

There are several beach hang-out places along the length of Carlisle Bay, these days.

Boatyard is merely one of them!

 

See the skinny pier at right, with the white blob on its end

jutting out into the turquoise waters? -That's Boatyard's pier.

and the part of Carlisle Bay you're most likely to visit (Boatyard, Lobster Alive, Harbour Lights)

Hi Hank ,would you mind telling me where on Carlisle we should be dropped off to be closest to the area where you can swim out to the turtles ourselves?We all have fins and vests so figured we would just wait till we see the catamaran tours and gead out towards them.Would Harbour lights be a good place to be let off?

Thanks for your help. Susan:)

We just came back from a Cruise on the Summit. We took taxi to Carlisle bay and there were no band playing on the beach. It was very quite......had a great time
