Someone mentioned a beach near the southern most point with an awesome playground for kids. Does anyone know the name of this??

 

Thanks!

I would guess they are talking about Higgs Beach and Astro Playground. Both are locatged on the Atlantic between White Street and Reynolds Street.

Thanks! I love your island and was able to camp there for $6 a night a decade ago. We were at a military base and set up a tent right next to the water. I will never forget how beautiful it was. :)

 

How far is Higgs beach/playground from where the ships dock? Can I walk there with a 2 year old? Is there a charge to use the facilities? Sandy or rocky there?

 

Should I bring snorkeling stuff to this beach or stick with my bare necessities of apple juice and diapers.

 

Thanks!
