39august Posted September 25, 2007 #2 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Me too, me too! How much is a taxi? I know it's not far from the tender docks, but probably too far to walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinkletoes4445 Posted September 25, 2007 #3 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Smith's Cove is probably a couple of miles outside the port area, so you'd have to take a cab. There's also no services there...food, restrooms, etc. I'd rent a car, and that way you could see Smith's Cove and also venture over to that side of the island. The blow holes are on around that way (maybe 6-8 miles or so from there), and there's a great reataurant that direction (The Lighthouse). The East End is our favorite part of the island and we always make a beeline over in that direction. We use Andy's for our cars, but there's a lot of other rental places. We were concerned that driving on the "wrong" side of the road would be hard, but it was a snap. Traffic does not move that quickly there, and we always rent a car that's got the steering on the left. It's my job to navigate, while hubby drives. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please tell us more!! I am also really interested in this place since we are having our wedding photos done on that beach next February. :D We are getting married at Old Grand House (just a few minutes away from Smith Cove) which is one of the best restaurants on the islands (so I have been told) - though a little pricey ! Please may I ask you to take some photos, if you end up there next week , to post on here ? PS I have been told that there are no shops, but there are rest rooms there.

39august Posted September 26, 2007 #5 Share Posted September 26, 2007 My husband refuses to drive and I don't want to either. I do hope someone who has taken a taxi can tell me the cost and whether they will come back at a specified time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do hope someone who has taken a taxi can tell me the cost and whether they will come back at a specified time. I don't know if they'd do something like that or not. The cabs are the van-types, and they usually run the 7MB stretch. You may be able to cut a deal and get one to agree to do that...but you'd have no way of contacting someone if the cab driver forgot. I guess you could walk to the main road and look for someone to give you a life back to the port area. If you have a cell phone, you could get their number and call them (once you're on GC). We have Sprint and our phones worked all over the island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mococay Posted October 6, 2007 #8 Share Posted October 6, 2007 You'll find a cab to take you there and it should not be more than 10 US. As far as coming back we're talking about a mile and a half to walk so you can be back in Georgetown in about 20 minutes. There are no phones around there, no services and no restrooms either. It's a place for locals and not busy at except for weekends. Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
