shelbytennis Posted July 19, 2016 #1 Share Posted July 19, 2016 was wondering if anyone could give me and update on the beach access for cabbage beach. I tried to do a little research but can't seem to come up with anything concrete. we've always used the access next to the RIU, but it seems that it may not be available anymore? was hoping to hop on the water taxi with the 6 kids in October and walk to that access point and walk down to the far eastern end of the beach away from the crowds. thanks for any input and help. cheers!

Rare CruisinCrow Posted July 27, 2016 #2 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I haven't been able to get an answer on that either. :( There is another public access point farther east though, and it sounds like that's where you want to go anyway. Take a regular taxi - I bet the taxi drivers know exactly where to drop you off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandkps Posted July 29, 2016 #3 Share Posted July 29, 2016 We went to cabbage beach in May. Found a taxi driver just on the other side of the port building charging $5/pp. he dropped us off at the public access point. Very easy to find a return taxi as well, plenty outside the public access just waiting for passengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arubababe52 Posted August 7, 2016 #4 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Does cabbage beach have chairs/umbrellas to rent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CruisinCrow Posted September 21, 2016 #5 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Shelbytennis, we were in Nassau on Sunday and spent the day at RIU. Yes, the public access next to RIU has reopened! Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OntarioTraveller Posted September 22, 2016 #6 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Thanks for the update! can someone provide more information? When you access the beach, are there chairs and umbrellas to rent? Washrooms? Is the water calm there? We are considering day passes to the Melia to have a nice beach with chairs and umbrellas,but would love to save the bit of money. Junkanoo beach doesn't sound like what we may want.....

Junkanoo beach doesn't sound like what we may want..... No washrooms. There are people renting chairs and umbrellas and selling drinks. The water varies depending on the weather. It can be very rough or it can be calm. It's the luck of the draw. Calm day (this was last weekend): Rough day (see the guy getting rocked over?): Walk down a ways if you want to get away from the crowd: Edited September 22, 2016 by CruisinCrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OntarioTraveller Posted September 23, 2016 #8 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Thanks for the pictures and answers! Wondering if this is better than Junkanoo or if Melia day passes are worth it now? A little worried about the waves and lack of facilities..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkacmom Posted September 23, 2016 #9 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I've been to cabbage beach twice, and both times it was too rough to enter the water (and we are from NJ and love the big waves at the shore). The beach at the Melis is definitely nicer than Junkanoo, with really nice pools as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little worried about the waves and lack of facilities..... We've been to Nassau probably 20 times and have done most of the things there are to do there. But I've never had any interest in going to Junkanoo Beach. :) Personally, I would spring for a day pass at Melia. It's worth it to have facilities, pools, lounge chairs, towels, etc. The beach is nicer there than at Junkanoo too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thanna86 Posted September 29, 2016 #11 Share Posted September 29, 2016 (edited) We went to the Melia last visit. They did not tell us you could not get into the ocean due to currents until after we paid. You cannot see the beach from the lobby. And they would not refund. We used the pools and hot tub for about 90 minutes and it started raining. It is beautiful and they give you snorkel gear but just make sure you check the weather and water status before you pay.
