cheeky1414 Posted August 9, 2006 #1 Share Posted August 9, 2006 We are cruising on Crown in September. We'd like to rent a scooter or Moped in Grand Turk and explore the island. Has anyone done this before? We'd love to hear your suggestions/comments. Thanks in advance. Rob & Genea Niagara Falls, ON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillslife Posted August 9, 2006 #2 Share Posted August 9, 2006 We were just in Grand Turks in July and I didn't see anything like that. We walked to Govenor's Beach from the port - did not go further around the island - but there is nothing like that around where the ship docks...plenty of taxis though and trolley to the beach. Maybe they have them if you go into town.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeky1414 Posted August 9, 2006 Author #3 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Thanks Hillslife. Govenor's Beach is the beach right beside Margaritaville - near the pier? Did you find it crowded? Anyone else come across any scooter rentals? Thanks - counting the days to our 9/12/06 departure! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillslife Posted August 10, 2006 #4 Share Posted August 10, 2006 No, Govenor's Beach is about a 10 minute walk from the port. It is a beautiful beach, very white sand, clear water and very relaxing. The beach by Margaritaville is right off the ship dock, not as quiet and the water bottom is very rocky. I would venture to Governor's Beach - nice walk and very worth it. You have to pay for chairs $5 and snorkel equipment if you want it $15 but much quieter and not as many people as the one right off the ship.

jlbliss2 Posted August 10, 2006 #5 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Yes, I did see scooter rentals. We were in a taxi, but it seemed to be about a 15-20 min walk away. There is a place that is just set up on the side of the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeky1414 Posted August 10, 2006 Author #6 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Thanks for the info...we'll likely take the recomendation and just walk down to Govenor's Beach - it sounds very nice. We have excursions booked for other ports, but will enjoy some R&R on the beach in Grand Turk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
