mikem1977 Posted July 29, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Would it be ok for us to have our kids (10, 11, 11) hang out at the beach at Jacks Shack or is it an area that is not appropriate for kids? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted July 29, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Jack's Shack isn't a get drunk and party place if that's what you mean by appropriate. Your children might actually enjoy the huge pool a Margaritaville more. LuLu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The inappropriate place to bring your kids is the pool at Margaritaville by the DJ booth. Jack's Shack is a great place to hang out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted July 30, 2014 #4 Share Posted July 30, 2014 And at Jack's they can play with Topper, the dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikem1977 Posted July 30, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I had heard rumors that some crazy stuff happens at margaritaville (x-rated twerking and games that make you say wow) so that was another reason we were looking at Jack's as an alternative if it gets to crazy at Margaritaville. Our kids are not virgins to inappropritate stuff (caught my 10 year old watching Sons of Anarchy and had to change the parental settings again, lol) but if we can avoid it I would like to have an exit plan.

Rare crewsweeper Posted July 30, 2014 #6 Share Posted July 30, 2014 If you get a bunch of rowdy folks up at the bar at Jack's you can always mosey on back down the beach, there are spots between Jacks and Margaritaville with loungers. And there is a quieter beach with loungers to the right of the pier. MV is to the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
092306 Posted August 2, 2014 #7 Share Posted August 2, 2014 We haven't made it to Jack's yet, but never saw anything inappropriate at Margaritaville. Lots of people having fun, but nothing to raise an eyebrow. Lots of kids in the pool. Maybe later in the day it gets rowdy when people have spent all day drinking, but we've never stayed long enough to see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been there many times and have also never seen anything inappropriate whatsoever. LuLu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbri Posted August 13, 2014 #11 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Walk left. Maybe 10-15 minutes. Have a great time :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruznlobo Posted September 16, 2014 #12 Share Posted September 16, 2014 The water t Jack's is calm and you can go out pretty far before it gets to your shoulders.....I'm only 5'6". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor95 Posted September 16, 2014 #13 Share Posted September 16, 2014 The water t Jack's is calm and you can go out pretty far before it gets to your shoulders.....I'm only 5'6". Do you need water shoes? I have read a few posts lately that mention the beach being rocky & dirty. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruznlobo Posted September 16, 2014 #14 Share Posted September 16, 2014 You don't need water shoes at Jack's....The sand is really soft, even when you get out farther. Remember the men's room is on your left when you get out in the water!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendu2626 Posted September 30, 2014 #15 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Would it be ok for us to have our kids (10, 11, 11) hang out at the beach at Jacks Shack or is it an area that is not appropriate for kids? We took our kids, 9 and 11 to Jacks shack last year. Had a great time and Topher the dog is there to play with. There were kids everywhere and it is way better for families than margaritaville. You can snorkel, but toward the pier is much better and have a great time without the x rated parties.

rabbit72 Posted October 5, 2014 #16 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I've been to Margaritaville a few times...the worst thing that I have seen is a dance contest and I don't think it was inappropriate...they can see some of that on DWS show. I will be there in a couple of weeks and we're going to hit Jacks and Margaritaville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelkel2 Posted October 13, 2014 #18 Share Posted October 13, 2014 So to get to Jack's you get off the ship, go down the dock go through shops and then go left? Or am I walking down the beach?? Sorry trying to visualize something I have never seen is not easy!! Is Grand Turk one of those ports that you have to go through shops to get off the dock?

houstoncruisers2001 Posted October 14, 2014 #19 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Margaritaville is harmless. The pool is so big you don't have to be any where near the DJ booth. Swim-up bar is nice and there's a flowrider too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You go through one store, port area is little. Find the beach on the left and start walking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
