Great Stirrup Cay Shade?

[Bruce4fun]

Does anyone know is there shade available on Great Stirrup Cay?

I am asking about either palapas or umbrellas with chairs or full shade awning type structures besides the cabanas.

Thank you,

Plenty of trees....no need to pay for shade!

Having been to GSC twice since 2011, I did not find a lot of shade there. The first time we and every one else was huddled under a few sparse palm trees and the second time we rented a clamshell for $29. Next week when we go again, we are renting the cabana and sharing it with another family.

 

I hear that there are a lot of new options on the island so things may have changed.

 

The sun is extremely hot there, not a breeze always and very little shade, so if you don't want to be exposed, consider one of the options listed.

 

Good luck.
