cruiseelady Posted December 25, 2016 #1 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Hi, I need a bit of advise please. I cruise alone. I want to take a taxi to a beach, just don't know which one to pick. I don't need a chair nor umbrella. MY requirement is only that its not too far from the port, safe and clean, hopefully has bathrooms. Also a beach with calm waters as I don't know how to swim. Which beach would recommend? How does a taxi work, if I come up will they put me alone in the taxi or will wait for more people who are going in my direction? What is the rate for taxi to those beaches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mringenoldus Posted December 25, 2016 #4 Share Posted December 25, 2016 St. John USVI is one of my favorite places - natural, quiet beauty. There will be cabs at the pier, but I like to hike from the National Park Service building on a path that goes through the trees for a stop off at a wonderful secluded beach then on to the beach at Caneel Bay Resort. Then I can back from there. This March I will take a cab to Trunk Bay. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seabeew Posted December 26, 2016 #5 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Dickinson bay is a very nice beach in Antigua fairly close to the cruise port (10-15 minutes by cab, $13 each way). Just walk off the ship and enter the shopping area. Just keep walking until you encounter the taxi wranglers. We accessed the beach through Antigua village, where we rented chairs and gained access to the restrooms in a restaurant on the beach. Not sure if you can access the bathrooms without a chair rental.

PORT ROYAL Posted December 26, 2016 #6 Share Posted December 26, 2016 (edited) Not sure if you can access the bathrooms without a chair rental. Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Not a problem for "Towels", as they usually end up just using the sea, under the pretext of going for a swim :eek: Edited December 26, 2016 by PORT ROYAL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WYB! Posted December 28, 2016 #7 Share Posted December 28, 2016 (edited) Just to be clear (OP), I think you mean St. John's (Antigua) / Lesser Antilles, and not St. John's (St Thomas) as it is easy to confuse. But seeing that we are going to be on the same cruise (OP), I'll direct you to here for additional information on beaches: https://www.tripadvisor.com/Tourism-g147243-St_John_s_Saint_John_Parish_Antigua_Antigua_and_Barbuda-Vacations.html Safe travels, Edited December 28, 2016 by Cwipes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
