We took a bus/minivan with two other couples to Megan's Bay-$8 per person each way. Megan's Bay is a park, so it has entrance fee-$4 per person. The beach has a small restaurant and bar w/US like prices. Piece of pizza -$3.95, beer $5-$8. All throughout the beach there are wooden picnic tables w/benches which are free. No chairs/umbrellas for rent. The beach was clean, quiet, true National Park ...
The new area the ships dock at is not that great in my opinion. Only a handful of shops and not really any place to sit and truly relax in the shade. ...
Too many people on the excursion and only 1 turtle show up so it was very difficult to see it. We also spent some time at a very nice beach. This along with the great rum punch on the boat made up for the disappointing turtle swim. ...
Took an open air bus tour of the island. Was disappointed in the shopping since I can't afford $1000 shoes and purses. I was told before the trip that there was a market downtown with local artisans. There is a straw market but it's nothing but cheap stuff from China. Was not impressed enough to want to visit again even though there were some incredibly beautiful scenery. ...
Always enjoy going to Trunk Bay but Carnival really limited the amount of time we got to spend on the beach (90 minutes) before we had to reboard our van to return to the ferry. I recommend doing this yourself! I certainly will in the future. ...
