HI

How was the beach? rocky to walk in or just sand? Can you snorkel right off the beach? How far from the cruise ship is the beach? Any spots to eat or drink?Any shade?

Thank you

coco beach has sand.spice beach has rock (more like shells or pieces of coral) there right beside each other.the taxi dropped us off at spice beach.wear water shoes or flip flops in the water at spice beach.there is a drop off.its like a rock shelf. there were so many pretty fish under and around the drop off .I got a water proff camera from amazon but I haven't got it processed yet. my husband sat at a table at the bar at spice beach they had chairs for 5 dollars each but didn't charge my husband because he was buying drinks and wasn't at the lodge chair for long.the whole lodge area was shaded.beer was 3.50 to 4.00 or extra large pinta colta for 7 dollars .we didn't eat there.please take a snokel and mask .I was told cocos chairs were 10 dollars.but the people at spice beach were so laid back we stayed there . we had a group of us so the taxi there was 2.50 . you can take a water taxi back to the ship for 5 bucks takes you right to the dock.the shops there are pricey no cheap t shirts there.its a 30 min walk or a 5 min taxi ride.
