What do you mean by "good beach?" There are good beaches for snorkeling and good beaches for just lazing around.

 

Emerald Beach/Lindberg Bay is the closest beach to the Crown Bay dock for Princess ships. Please do a search on this forum for reviews/photos.

 

Water Island is a short ferry ride from Crown Bay, and there's a beach there (Honeymoon). It's also been reviewed on this forum.

 

Morning Star beach near Havensight Dock and Marriott's Frenchman's Reef is also within a 15 minute drive from Crown Bay. Not many cruise passengers frequent this beach, so I don't know if there are any/many reviews, though.

 

None of these beaches are known for their snorkeling - you'll have to go further than a 15 minute drive for that.
