What is the best way to get to Cucumber Beach and how much is it? On their web site it said by water taxi? Whsere do you got a water taxi and wnat should you pay?

I think this place looks great. I am sure this will do well especially if you can get there pretty easily by taxi since I think a lot of cruisers just want to go to a beach and do their own thing. I love the tiki huts and even though the beach is man-made, it's looks great!

 

Would love to hear if anyone else has been here or knows how to get there!

Where did you find the $25 per person tour to Cucumber Beach? I looked on the Belize website and couldn't seem to find it. What does that include? Just transportation?

 

Thanks!

I e-mailed Cucumber Beach directly from the website and this is their response. It appears that for $10 per person you can tour the Old Belize Cultural Center and have access to the beach.
