Half Moon Cay - Clam Shells, etc.

[accobend]

On Carnival's website, Clam Shells for Half Moon Cay are listed at $19 per hour. Is this really the price?

 

Also, I have read lots of threads about the sand fleas. I get the impression you pretty much have to avoid any island vegetation areas, but what about on the sand itself? Is it enough to be above the sand in a lounge chair or do you need protection from them on the beach as well?

 

I already need to coat myself in sunscreen, just don't want to coat in bug repellent if I don't have to.

 

Thanks for your help.

The clamshell rental was by the day as of last sep, I don't remember the exact price but it wasn't too bad. I did not encounter any sand fleas in sep.

Just returned form carnival Triumph stoped at Half Moon Cay May 20th rented a clamshell for $19 per day. The sun was shining for about thirty minutes then a down pour came and the clamshell saved us from the rain. I would always rent a calmshell.

We encountered no sand fleas there in December.

We had the Yellow Cabana. For us, it was money well spent. YMMV.
