Choosing a beach

[spkinva]

Looking for a quiet beach. Le Gallion? Dawn Beach? Little Bay? Didn't like all the vendor activity at Orient.

Try Grand Case. Serene, narrower beach, very calm water and then you can literally walk a few steps to some of the best restaurants... Grand Case is considered the culinary capital of the Caribbean. We had a wonderful French lunch overlooking the water at Le Tastevin. Polar opposite of Orient (we enjoyed that too and found no vendors. I guess it depends where you sit on the beach). We had a rental care for the day at about $60 U.S. so we explored several beaches and villages and generally avoided throngs of tourists. Enjoy your cruise.

Thank you so much for the info. I assume they have chairs and umbrellas to rent?

Guess it depends on where you are at Orient Beach. We were recently there in January (14) and there really were no pesky vendors.
