KyleClark Posted January 19, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Sitting here right now with my Verizon travel pass with great connectivity. Thought I would share a few photos . Btw, don't listen to reviews about the scary deep hills, I spooked myself a little and when I got here the ride was pleasant.

KyleClark Posted January 19, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Let me add a tip - when you arrive you are dropped off at Nichole's (refreshments and finger food) walk to the middle of the beach where there no rocks and soft sand. I see many people camping out ny Nichole's where it is rocky. Sent from my SM-N910V using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nycfa Posted January 19, 2017 #5 Share Posted January 19, 2017 How long is the ride there from the port? Is it easy to get a taxi back? Do you need to tell them to return for you or is there a taxi line? Our port time isn't long (7-1) so we want to make sure we could get back easily! Thanks!

blue_water Posted January 19, 2017 #6 Share Posted January 19, 2017 20 - 25 min and taxis will return. Brewers and Cane Garden Bay are the safest beach options for a short port day and transportation back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue_water Posted January 19, 2017 #8 Share Posted January 19, 2017 You'll also see taxis stationed at the cruise dock offering great 2 or 3 hour island tours for very reasonable prices ($20 - 25pp). If you want to see a bit of the island and hit a beach for just an hour that's another good option. The tour offers nice views and photo ops and usually stops at Cane Garden Bay where the rum distillery is located and several beach bars. But for more beach time just hop a taxi heading to the beach. Just a thought! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regg1216 Posted February 17, 2017 #9 Share Posted February 17, 2017 How much for chairs at Brewers beach? What about umbrella? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PORT ROYAL Posted February 17, 2017 #10 Share Posted February 17, 2017 How much for chairs at Brewers beach? What about umbrella? Beds $10.00 for two. Not great quality, but serviceable. No need for an umbrella, plenty of natural shade to top of beach. Taxis - if wished one can book your outward taxi for a timed return. But there will be taxis available for the return trip, from the assembly point below the beach bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatka Posted March 2, 2017 #11 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Which is a better beach Brewers or Cane Garden Bay? We've been to Cane Garden Bay (and Virgin Gorda) so want to explorer something new if it is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bren61 Posted April 27, 2017 #15 Share Posted April 27, 2017 How far apart are Brewers Beach & Cane Garden Bay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatka Posted April 28, 2017 #16 Share Posted April 28, 2017 We ended up going to Cane Garden bay again, but while we were riding in open taxi we noticed that we turned to our beach almost at the same point as we saw a turn to Brewers bay. It looks like they are situated in the "fjords" separated by one mountain. Just to warn you this ride is not for weak people. Very steep mountain. Our taxi was overcrowded. Five people instead of four in every row. I was sitting in drivers cabin. It was a bit scary even for me, and I love roller-coasters. :) Beautiful views though.

nancydow Posted May 1, 2017 #17 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Can you recommend which side of the open air taxi to sit on to get better views on the way to/from the beach? TIA! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_water Posted May 1, 2017 #18 Share Posted May 1, 2017 When we stay at the Heritage Inn on Windy Hill, safari taxis full of day visitors going to CGB are taking the coastal route to Zion Hill Rd and then along the north shore and going down into CGB from the west. We've gotten some funny videos from there! In that case the driver side (if on the left), or port side would afford the best views all the way. If they go over Joe's Hill Rd and drop down into CGB from the east the right side would be better. So just ask the driver which route he/she will be taking.

mccannme Posted May 5, 2017 #20 Share Posted May 5, 2017 What is the taxi cost? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatka Posted May 6, 2017 #21 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I believe $8 pp one way on safari taxi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_water Posted May 6, 2017 #22 Share Posted May 6, 2017 The fare when taking a safari taxi with others is $8pp each way for adults, 1/2 fare for kids ages 4 - 10, and free for toddlers. The $8 fare applies to 3 or more ppl, so for 2 ppl in a private taxi it's a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
