Creator's Key Takeaways

I would definitely come back for sure. bring my float.

It's a nice quiet beach, that's for sure. It's definitely very different from Megan's Bay because Megan's Bay is just so overcrowded, of course.

Please please please caution. So, the note is if they have four digits on their license plate, they are governmentissued taxis.

The food was so good in downtown and we had a good time just walking around.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring extra small bills and cash for taxis, as prices change and they only take cash.
Do not get on a gypsy taxi; have a resort or knowledgeable person call a registered taxi for you.
Look for taxis with four digits on the license plate, as they are government-issued.
Bring water shoes if planning to get in the water at Emerald Beach due to rocky areas.
Use the new walking path from downtown to the port for a safer, shaded route.
