MomTo2InVA Posted February 29, 2008 #1 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I heard there are some playgrounds at Orient Beach? Which beaches have these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruizingwithtoddlers Posted February 29, 2008 #2 Share Posted February 29, 2008 if so, can you walk to Orient beach or do you have to take a taxi? We are not planning on taking our kids car seats on the cruise (since we would have to take both ugh:( ) So anything we can walk to would be awesome!

shygirl Posted February 29, 2008 #3 Share Posted February 29, 2008 You will definitely have to cab it to Orient. We were at Le Galeon last time with a rental car and would like to try Orient this time around. I just read Coco section is where the playground is. Could someone give us more detail about this?

I&MsMom Posted February 29, 2008 #4 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Hi! Not sure if this is what you meant, but I mentioned on another thread that we found a small bar/cafe with a wooden playset in the sand in a mostly shaded area. Can't remember the name of the place, but if you are facing the water, it is just a little to the left of where the cabs were dropping people. It's not exactly a playground, just a climbing apparatus with (I think) a slide. I can't even remember if there were swings. This weekend, I'll check some old photos, and see if I can provide more details. My kids (2 and 6 at the time) spent some time there and had fun.

shygirl Posted February 29, 2008 #6 Share Posted February 29, 2008 My boys were 2 and 8. We spent about 2.5 hours here. Road leading to beach: rural, pot hole filled, winding, desserted Pass butterfly farm keep driving, slight left and you will hit it. The day we went there were about 8-9 local families enjoying the crystal clear shallow waters. They had beach blankets and coolers with food. We had blue cruise ship towels :( . Beach is not too deep 10-15 from parked car to water. White sand - medium fine, but shallow and no waves. DH walked out 75-100 feet and was still waist deep. Small minows about 3 inches long swims between your legs. Chez Pats is the only concession there. We had 2 burgers/fries/soda for $25US. At first we just parked our towels with the locals; but later 3-4 other family of cruisers arrived and rented chairs and umbrellas here. Who knew. Our boys had great time with the local kid's that brought their surf boards. Only saw 2 topless french moms; if I had their bodies I would go topless too! I hope this helps.

TigerLady Posted February 29, 2008 #7 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I heard there are some playgrounds at Orient Beach? Which beaches have these? We were there in October, and I don't recall seeing any.. We did see the one eyed cat called Jack.. They may have been further done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
