I was just in Grand Turk and I HIGHLY recommend the shoes. The beaches are extremely rocky and it was a lifesaver to have them with us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timc.jb Posted February 23, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 23, 2018 My family and I always bring water shoes on cruises or water parks. I highly recommend you bring them if doing any kind of water excursions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canton Cruiser Posted February 23, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 23, 2018 you totally need water shoes at Grand Turk.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcpagejr Posted February 23, 2018 #5 Share Posted February 23, 2018 They sell them onboard ship incase you forget like I did!! ($15).... But I'm sure you could buy at 1st port you stop at anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsWoz46 Posted February 23, 2018 #6 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Just curious.. I don't mind it being rocky but are there other things that I would have to worry about stepping on because of the hurricane? I'm not one for water shoes but may need to consider them if the beaches are still pretty bad with hidden debris. I'm going on a cruise in April and 3 of the 4 ports got hit.

OCruisers Posted February 23, 2018 #8 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Water shoes are really needed in Grand Turk ... even if there had been no hurricane! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mdin Posted February 23, 2018 #9 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I'm not a water shoe person myself, however I'm glad I had them in Grand Turk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The beach to the right of the pier as you walk off the ship is very rocky. To the left, it is sandy. St. Thomas is going to depend on the beach that you go to - reports are that Sapphire (which does have some rocky areas) is back to normal - just stripped of some of its tree cover. And in San Juan, I have no idea what beach you are planning to go to - this port is not known for beaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted February 24, 2018 #12 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I also recommend water shoes. Good to have the added protection. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
