Where to go for shade on Ocean Cay

[jkgourmet]

We won't stay on the beach for more than a couple of hours, so it seems foolish to rent an umbrella for the entire day.

 

So - is there an area on the beach that has some shade?

All the trees that will provide shade eventually were just planted.  I'd look for one but realize that even if it is providing some shade when you arrive, the sun will move while you're there and you may very well lose that bit of shade.  If shade is important to you (it is to me) I'd spring for the umbrella.

Cost of umbrella?  (Wish they would rent them by the hour.)

IIRC $12 per day but I'm sure someone will chime in if my memory is slipping!

I responded in your other thread.  You really should request they are merged or close one thread.

There are a few complimentary umbrellas on Lighthouse Bay Beach but you need to get there fairly early to snag one.  No lounge chairs there but there were Adirondack chairs and bean bag chairs.   We saw a few people sitting under the wedding pavilion too.  No shade trees yet, I'm afraid.
