richs52 Posted September 14, 2005 #1 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Could anyone let me know what beaches in/near St. George rent beach umbrellas? We will be in St George next week off the NCL Majesty and need to know which beaches have facilities to rent an umbrella (VERY sensitive skin). Tobacco? St. Catherines? Clearwater? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richs52 Posted September 14, 2005 Author #3 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Thanks for the quick reply...how much are we talking? Unfortunately, I think trying to find a beach umbrella at this time of year in Upstate NY is pretty unlikely for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was $15.00 dollars if I remember correctly and NOT negotiable. Where in Upstate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richs52 Posted September 14, 2005 Author #5 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Thanks again for the replies...I'm up in Albany. I'll have to check CVS and Rite-Aid...BigLots is another one that comes to mind that might have some still. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyce and Tim Posted September 15, 2005 #6 Share Posted September 15, 2005 We own a beach umbrella, but have to admit it never occurred to me to bring it along on a cruise! People do this? We'll be in Bermuda the last week of Sept. on the Horizon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patnjohn Posted September 15, 2005 #7 Share Posted September 15, 2005 How much is it to rent an umbrella at the beaches in Bermuda? How about chairs? We rented in the Caribbean & I don't think it was too expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeanne S Posted September 15, 2005 #8 Share Posted September 15, 2005 It depends on which beach. If I remember correctely, Horseshoe Bay is the most expensive and you must leave a deposit. The most resonable is Elbow Bay at $7 and no deposit. St Catherine's was $10 and no deposit. I wish we has brought an umbrella at Target last month when we sailed on Radisson. We are on the cruise after you, then also on VOS 11/13 and will bring umbrellas this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueberry2 Posted September 16, 2005 #9 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Actually more practical and easier to cart around is a collapsable sun shelter- looks like a little half tent. It is easier to use on windy beaches and folds/rolls up pretty compactly. I even take it when I fly to beach destinations. In bermuda places won't rent umbrellas if it is too windy- which it often is in September/october. Also you then have the flexability to go whereever you want- not just where they rent things.

blueberry2 Posted September 16, 2005 #11 Share Posted September 16, 2005 I bought mine years ago (like 10 years ago) at tjMaxx believe it or not. The nylon is as good as new- popped it in the wash last night in anticipation of tommorrows trip. Do a google search for shade tents or small cabanas and I bet you'll find some unline. Best of Luck!
