Creator's Key Takeaways

I am going to go over and see if I can find a local bus and take it over to Eagle Beach.

So you can basically do this whole thing for uh $5 round trip and bus and it's on the beach for free.

The water's beautiful and uh there's nice relaxed vibe. The beach is very clean. Uh very beautiful.

So, definitely something I would do again.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Take the L10 bus from the port to Eagle Beach for a $5 round trip.
Get off at the Passions on the Beach stop, not the Eagle Beach stop.
Arrive early to secure a palapa or chair, as they can be limited.
You can bring your own towel from the ship and sit on the beach for free.
