Deep Bay Beach

[gecko12]

Has anyone been to Deep Bay Beach? It doesn't seem far from St. Johns. There is a wreck to snorkel around. A path to go to Fort Barrington too. It looks like a pretty beach but I haven't seen any reviews about it.

We have been there 3 times and are planning another visit this time as well. It flys under the radar though it reviewed very well in many magazines. It's perfect. Quiet but with chairs food drink and toilets (clean). It gets more busy as the day goes on and sailing excursions come in but it's a long way from crowded. There are a few women selling clothes and jewelry but not bad. You are dropped off at a hotel that always seems empty of people so it's a little wierd as you walk through the lobby and down a concrete path to the beach itself. We get there early and are usually the only people on the beach for a while. loungers are there and you just grab one and someone will come around later. Beach bar people arrive about 10 or so. We've never felt security was an issue and have always felt safe. An ideal beach

That would be great. Exactly what I'm looking for. Except having to walk through a hotel that I'm not staying at. I hope there is a way to walk around.

we've always just walked through the lobby. IF there is someone there we just say hi and walk through. there may be a way around but I don't know how and it's pretty common not to see anyone. Quite a few others do the same thing. I wouldn't worry about it.....................

How do you get there from the ship? Taxi?

yes, taxi.

If i remember correctly it was about $15 for a vanload each way. When we got there we set up a pickup time and they were always there at the right time. no waiting

I'm assuming there are plenty of taxis when we get off the ship?

Lots of them.There is usually a woman who sort of supervises the drivers and you tell her where you want to go and she will get a driver for you
