Crazy planning mom Posted January 26, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 26, 2023 We are looking for a beach day. We are not snorkelers. Two of us just like to relax on the beach with a cocktail. The third person enjoys water sports like jet ski is. From the port, we can take a water taxi to Great Bay, a short cab ride to Divi, or should we go to Orient, Mullet, or Grand Case Beach? Thanks.

Rare crewsweeper Posted January 26, 2023 #2 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I'd go to Little Divi Bay. Everything you're looking for and easy to get to. Orient is a very long beach and checks your boxes, but further away and the quiet sections aren't near the water sports vendors.. I don't recall Mullet having jet ski or water sports, but been awhile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For one’s exact requirements, then @crewsweeper gave excellent advice. Take Divi…. Don’t even think of going to jet ski at Great Bay, aka the sewer. I for one would not even put a toe in the water there…… If in the future, one goes to Orient for a more genteel ambiance, then consider Coco…. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vppro Posted January 30, 2023 #5 Share Posted January 30, 2023 I like Grand Case. The water is clean and calm, no seaweed. We usually make a reservation at Rainbow Café for Loungers and Umbrella. The drink service is good and the restaurant is excellent. We are going in two weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are all the restaurants on Grand Case Beach expensive? Is there jetski rental nearby? Are cabs readily available?

PORT ROYAL Posted January 31, 2023 #7 Share Posted January 31, 2023 It appears one requires a beach bar with jet ski venue attached, having a menu possibly at a lower price point than quality beach restaurants. There is only one establishment that comes to mind, this is Bikini on Orient Beach. Plenty of taxis out and return. Have no other information. Wish one luck in finding a place fitting all one’s criteria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy planning mom Posted January 31, 2023 Author #8 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Thanks Port Royal for your help. Perhaps, I was being a bit unrealistic. Will check out Bikini Bar on Orient Beach. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point @nimbex1970 The prices are in Euros. It's 24 euros for guacamole and chips. I live in NY, one of the most expensive states, and it's cheaper. Rainbow Cafe does look nice though. Perhaps, we just rent chairs and get drinks, and share the guac and chips. It also like like there may be food trucks in the area. I know there are taxis by the port but maybe, we are better off pre-arranging with one of the more reputable companies.

Rare nimbex1970 Posted February 5, 2023 #12 Share Posted February 5, 2023 ok, it's been a bit since I have been there. but if you are semi active, you can walk along the beach and view the menus and prices at orient, multiple places that serve food and have loungers there. To get to jet skis, it was a walk and I am unsure if they are even offered anymore. Great bay is a sewage dump, skip that one. Sorry that's all the advice I can provide. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare nimbex1970 Posted February 5, 2023 #15 Share Posted February 5, 2023 https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1YSr8ohraD9V61ycCpT9k63tUyC8&hl=en_US&ll=18.084794162204375%2C-63.01735753197923&z=18 view this, look to your right to the club orient. That section of the beach gets more nude bathing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
