Creator's Key Takeaways

the beach is uh as far as I'm concerned anyway uh magnificent in that it's beautiful it's warm um there's it's inexpensive you can get everything you need and you're not going to go broken doing it

I would tell you that this would be a great place to save some money and just take the water taxi over

I would tell you to keep that in mind when you're doing it as you can see this is tight um and this is in the middle of the street where the traffic is not moving and then this is the narrow walk area through here so um if you're someone of size I'm a I'm a fairly decent size person I got through they okay but um I could see that if you had you family and kids or just uh you know a bigger uh size that maybe this would be something that would be less comfortable for you

Creator's Tips & Advice

Take the water taxi to save money and access the beach on the other side.
Stick to name-brand jewelry stores to avoid fake items.
Bring a driver's license in addition to your cruise pass card for port entry.
Consider renting a chair and umbrella at the beach for a comfortable experience.
Explore farther back from the main port area for potentially better deals and less crowded shopping.
