Lizcourt Posted July 6, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Maybe it seems like a silly question to ask how the swimming is at a private Caribbean island, but frankly, I was very disappointed with CoCo Cay, which was incredibly grassy and reedy in the water, and Labadee, which I found very rocky. Half Moon Cay, on the other hand, is the most beautiful beach I've ever been on, with clear white sand all the way into the water; no rocks, no reeds, just crystal clear azure seas. So here's my question -- how is the swimming at GSC? Will we need sand shoes? Are there some areas that are better than others? I'm also happy just to spend the day in a lounge chair sitting in the sun, but would just like to know what to expect in terms of whether we'll actually be able to spend time in the water.

cb at sea Posted July 7, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Seaweed can happen on any beach....it's a function of tides! We've never had vegetation in the water at Coco Cay....must have just had a bad seaweed season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizcourt Posted July 8, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Nope, this wasn't stuff flowing in on the tide -- it was rooted and growing. But to each his own; I know for many people CoCo Cay is their favorite private island. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Quimby Posted July 13, 2017 #4 Share Posted July 13, 2017 We missed great stirrup cay 3 out of 3 times, I would have taken thousands of jellyfish in the water to see the island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
