oakonship Posted February 21, 2013 #1 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Has anyone been to Red Stripe Beach at Falmouth? Have seen several posts regarding Chukka Beach Break but no real mention of Red Stripe. Any feedback would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayok Posted February 25, 2013 #2 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Just got back, spent last Tuesday at Red Stripe beach... didn't book ahead of time, but ended up jumping in with the cruise excursion. I think it was $24/person -- covered round-trip transportation & entrance into the private beach, but no lunch or chairs/umbrellas (extra). It's small and got really crowded around noon, but it was clean, had decent restrooms, and a beach bar/grill, as well as a DJ playing music and running games. Turned out to be just what we were looking for :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakonship Posted February 25, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Thanks for the info sayok. Did you happen to try anything from the grill? Any idea what drinks run? You'd think Red Stripes would be cheap!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayok Posted February 26, 2013 #4 Share Posted February 26, 2013 We were in line for burgers at the grill, but it was a long line & we had all gotten sunburned :( so we decided to head back to ship for lunch instead. I didn't buy any beer, but they gave us a little "orientation" upon arrival and I believe they said they were $5 each, 3 for $12, or 6 for $20; lots of folks on the beach had the "bucket of beers" which I assume was 6. As I recall the burgers were going to be $4. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karena1 Posted May 9, 2013 #5 Share Posted May 9, 2013 So if you want to just grab a cab and go to Red Stripe Beach you cannot get to this area with the restrooms and chair rentals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakonship Posted May 13, 2013 Author #6 Share Posted May 13, 2013 No, I don't believe you could take a cab to the beach. Everyone boarded buses at the port and they did a count coming and going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahecht Posted May 15, 2013 #7 Share Posted May 15, 2013 (edited) So if you want to just grab a cab and go to Red Stripe Beach you cannot get to this area with the restrooms and chair rentals? Cabs and private vehicles won't be allowed into Red Stripe Beach. If you want to take a cab instead of an excursion, go to Time n Place instead (it's less than a mile down the shore from Red Stripe). Beers there are $3. Edited May 15, 2013 by ahecht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeyebrd Posted May 18, 2013 #8 Share Posted May 18, 2013 In July 2012 we took a cab to Time N Place because it was recommended and I read some of the boards. I was so glad the cab driver asked if we wanted to look to see if we wanted to stay before he left. We walked in and it was deserted, seaweed was on the picnic tables,not much of a beach, and absolutely no food or restrooms. Unless there is a different entrance to Time N Place, I would not recommend. The cab driver took us 10 minutes down the road to a beautiful local beach and no amenities. I think this is where the locals go to relax. there were like 10 people from a cruiseline out of the 20 people were there. We did not mind. We just wanted to hang at a quiet beach. Definitely not for families with small kids. Maybe they have had some changes in a year to the beach since last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahecht Posted May 18, 2013 #9 Share Posted May 18, 2013 (edited) Doesn't sound at all like my experience at Time n Place. We walked in right next to the bar and food stand, and there were restrooms right nearby. Edited May 18, 2013 by ahecht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeyebrd Posted June 2, 2013 #10 Share Posted June 2, 2013 We went to Time N Place and it was a deserted beach - no amenities and rundown. Has it changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeyebrd Posted June 2, 2013 #11 Share Posted June 2, 2013 If I knew how to post pics, I would. Very deserted. One gentlemen came out did not say a word, a fenced in area of dogs, and the cabanas looked like they had not been used in at least 5 years. Maybe, the cab driver took us to the wrong entrance, but did not "feel right". Left right away. Going back to Falmouth and would love to know if I am wrong on this one. Looking for something to do besides get off the boat and shop or have to drive 45 minutes to get to an excursion. Any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowcrazy65 Posted August 23, 2014 #12 Share Posted August 23, 2014 If you want to leave before the time is up, will the bus be available to take you back to port? :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
