Domb23 Posted August 18, 2013 #1 Share Posted August 18, 2013 My wife and I are sailing on the Allure of the seas next week, and have excursions booked for both Cozumel and Jamaica. We plan on making labadee a relaxing beach day. I know that there are a number of choices that you have in terms of beaches to go to. Which beach would you suggest and why?? Thanks! I have heard that some of the beaches and water are quite rocky, and would like to avoid that. Thanks CAS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevSmith Posted August 18, 2013 #2 Share Posted August 18, 2013 They are all good, however the ones on your right side as you walk down the path have the nice inlet. You will find one to your suiting, it is all in what you want a beach for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lokip53 Posted August 18, 2013 #3 Share Posted August 18, 2013 We prefer Columbus Cove down past the Aquapark. Plenty of shaded spots with all of the trees, short walk to the bar and food, and calm water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouhunter Posted August 18, 2013 #4 Share Posted August 18, 2013 It's not a big place, take a walk and pick what you like:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaK Posted August 18, 2013 #5 Share Posted August 18, 2013 We like Nellie's Beach. We set up loungers in the shade, and are good for the entire time! (just remember to bring a few dollars to tip the guys who set up the chairs for you) Actually, any beach on the side of the peninsula that faces the ship would be fine for swimming. The beaches on the side that faces the zipline are more rocky and have a rougher surf, and are not as "safe" for swimming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzeluver Posted August 18, 2013 #6 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Another vote for Nellie's Beach. Although any that will be to your right when you come onto the island should be fine as they have the calmer water and soft sand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lionesss Posted August 18, 2013 #7 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Nellies is a nice "busy" beach with the water structures for the kids, but, it is also enjoyable if you like to people watch. Columbus cove is a little less hectic and nice waters. Enjoy we love Labadee Sea Ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherri914 Posted August 18, 2013 #8 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Another vote for Columbus Cove. It's peaceful, soft sand, plenty of sun and shade. Barefoot Beach is the rocky one. You would be more comfy with water shoes on that beach. Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats correct, I referred to the structures in the water that you pay to use. Sea Ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niquein99 Posted August 18, 2013 #12 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Another vote for Nellie's Beach. The day we went, it was simply gorgeous! Soft sand, gradual slope entering the water and crystal clear water. [img_0240_zpsb9ced81d.jpg.html] [img_0231_zps93d5dcff.jpg.html] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lionesss Posted August 18, 2013 #15 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Barefoot beach is the suite beach, with some cabanas. If you have a cabana on Nellies, you get the buffet on Barefoot beach. Sea Ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karen1821 Posted August 18, 2013 #16 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I like Nellie's Beach also. Get there early,hopefully before another ship arrives, grab a chair and relax. So peaceful. I'm going in November and luckily we are the only ship there. Can't wait. Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted August 18, 2013 #17 Share Posted August 18, 2013 It's open to everyone. And the cabanas on Nellie's can be rented by anyone through excursions...but decide early and book online as these book up fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
