Creator's Key Takeaways
the chairs here are free clam shells cost stuff the task in the front you came in from there there's your ship this is a bar that's the lobster shack
the drinks cost extra two your drink plan cheers the carnival drink plan is no good here so be prepared if you want to get drunk here you're going to pay for it
it really is a beautiful beach you don't have to pay to get to it other than for the cruise spoke horses
we picked the clam shell here because it's more or less uncrowded down at this end it is more walking both ways so if you want the crowd don't walk as far
