Comments
The entrance into the water does have several areas where there are rocks, the best place to enter the water is the north end (far right) there are no rocks in this area.
Generally when there are several ships in port the beach can get crowded. This last trip there was the Brilliance of the Seas, Independence of the Seas & Carnival Freedom but the beach remained fairly empty. I think the threat of rain definitely came into play there.
It did rain twice, once we went into the roofed bar area and second we just stayed under the umbrella. As is typical the showers passed in 10-15 minutes.
Cabs are plentiful for the return trip back to the ship.
