FliLady Posted August 13, 2008 #1 Share Posted August 13, 2008 going to 7 mile beach next week and wondering where the best place to drop your towel is. We are looking for cocktails and maybe parasailing. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean-lynd Posted August 17, 2008 #2 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I would recommend the Reef Grill/Royal Palms. You can check out their beach on their webcam at http://www.reefgrill.com. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweidner Posted August 19, 2008 #3 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Can anyone give me an idea how far the Reef Grill is from the port? Would it be worth going if our call is from 11:30 - 4:00? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean-lynd Posted August 20, 2008 #4 Share Posted August 20, 2008 It's between 2 and 3 miles. You would have plenty of time. A cab is $4/person or the bus is $2.50/person. I hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KruznKel Posted August 24, 2008 #9 Share Posted August 24, 2008 thanks! What about shade? I'm a sun lover but my dh is NOT happy if there is no shade. Umbrellas for rent? From viewing the beachcam.. I see chairs but no umbrellas.. but there are umbrellas at the bar area.. maybe later in the day.. once more people are there.. I will have a look again to see if there are umbrellas;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizneydawn Posted August 24, 2008 #10 Share Posted August 24, 2008 I emailed the royal palms and was told I could rent an umbrella as well as chairs. I have seen umbrellas set up on occasion, so I know it was correct. As for the web cam, I had to use Internet Explorer to see it, it would not load while I was in My AOL browser.

jean-lynd Posted August 25, 2008 #16 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I hope you get the webcam to work. I checked it almost everyday during the year that we were planning the wedding. It was great fun to see what ships were in port and how the weather was. I will see if I can post a link to be pictures here in case you can't get the webcam to work.

poochierebelbear Posted August 25, 2008 #19 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Will Royal Palms allow you to bring your own float? Erica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean-lynd Posted August 26, 2008 #20 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Easy Sailing - yes, the beaches and ocean are free and open to the public so they can't keep you from bringing your own float. I hope this helps! Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisejunkie2 Posted August 27, 2008 #21 Share Posted August 27, 2008 :confused: can you snorkel on the royal palms beach? is there gear to rent? trying to not pack mine due to luggage contraints and cost of checking extra bags now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! :eek: you've given me a new addiction here at work. I keep the web cam open and check out the beach during the day. Yesterday I even watched the Legend (my upcoming ship) leaving.:D :D :D Heck I'm picking out my lounge chair. I want the front row center. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean-lynd Posted August 28, 2008 #24 Share Posted August 28, 2008 cruisejunkie, You can snorkel there. They rent equipment for $15. I can not tell you how good it will be because we did not snorkel there. poptart, I know what you mean. I had it up every day for a year while we were planning our daughter's wedding there. I still check it every couple of days just to renew my memories. I keep thinking I will see another wedding there one of these days. Enjoy!

jackdiamond Posted August 29, 2008 #25 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Governor's beach is nice. However, there are no chair rentals, but there are shade trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
