Creator's Key Takeaways

It takes about 15 minutes and it's absolutely free and it's gorgeous.

When you put Junkanoo Beach into Google Maps, it actually shows the beach behind the Margaritaville Resort.

I just went up under one of the shade trees, put my stuff down, got my snorkeling gear, and went in the water. And it was beautiful.

I never felt unsafe. Uh, there were not a lot of people there selling trinkets or putting pressure on you to buy anything.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Walk to Junkanoo Beach instead of paying for an excursion
βœ“Ignore Google Maps directions that lead to Margaritaville Resort
βœ“Bring Turkish towels for portability and versatility
βœ“Visit the quieter, shaded section further down the beach
