Redsfan Posted October 7, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Has anybody done this tour with Royal, or know anything about it? We get in to STT 12pm so would like a nice beach, quiet surf, no rocks, etc, and this looks nice from the description at least...take that for what it is worth. Megans we have done, Sapphire I could consider but not crazy about it being rocky having young kids with us..St.John I would love to do but the tour calls for 3.5 hours, and I think you need a whole day to really enjoy it...

O2B@Cagain Posted October 7, 2014 #2 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Someone has branded Lindquist/Smith Bay beach as "Secret Sands". They are just finishing up restrooms and other amenities, so I expect the excursion is a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redsfan Posted October 8, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted October 8, 2014 RCCL has branded...I have read there isn't much there yet so hoping it may be done by end of next month.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O2B@Cagain Posted October 8, 2014 #4 Share Posted October 8, 2014 It is being operated by the Magens Bay Authority as part of the territorial park system. They have been working on some infrastructure at an unusually rapid rate. I have heard the bathrooms are open. Some people are happy about this "improvement", others liked the beach in its pristine condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ekatiel Posted November 9, 2014 #6 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Anyone have any more info on this excursion? There is only one review on the RCI website about it, and it says drinks and snacks are included (alcoholic, also). The description of the excursion doesn't mention that, though. I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who's been on this excursion. TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milhouse0506 Posted May 28, 2015 #8 Share Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) I did this excursion in March from the Allure. It's a beautiful beach (see photos below)I don't recall any snacks but I do know there was rum punch and beer included! The excursion is limited to 50 people so there are not a lot of people there. There are bathrooms in a trailer as well. The only negative I had was the length of time. It was about half hour each direction and maybe 3 hours at the beach. I would have enjoyed more time at the beach. Highly recommended if you're looking for a beach day away from the crowds.

LuCruise Posted May 28, 2015 #9 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Looks beautiful Mike. Thanks for posting and reporting back. Do you remember if there were any beach toys or anything you could rent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O2B@Cagain Posted May 28, 2015 #10 Share Posted May 28, 2015 P.S. If you like what you see and you want more time on island, return for a land-based stay. No one will tell you how long to stay on the beach. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldilocks Posted May 29, 2015 #12 Share Posted May 29, 2015 We took Royal's excursion to Secret Beach. We plan to go back again when the Allure visits in February (my 70th birthday cruise). Sign up early... as it is limited as to the number of people on the beach. We sometime staring out over the water and looking at the distant islands....trying to burn that image into our minds.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
