If you are there on a cruise, they usually take people over to the beach at The Boatyard --it offers beach "toys" chairs, drinks, etc. It's on an excellent beach -- Carlisle Bay. If you want to get away from the crowd, go over to the part of that beach that is called "Browne's Beach.
Please write me for my one-day suggested itinerary if you like (it's free).
