Magen's Bay

[JustKeri86]

Whats the best way to get to and from Magen's Bay? Sailing in less then 2 weeks and really don't want to pay for an excursion to bring us shopping for 2 hours then the beach for 2. Would love more flexibility of doing it on our own. It will be me my husband and 2 kids (4&2). Docking at 11am Leaving at 6pm All suggestions welcome

 

TIA

Taxi

There will be lots of jitney style taxis at the port. Ask for which is going to Magen's Bay and hop on that one. Verify they are not going to downtown.

Price last week was $ 8. pp each way. I don't know if they charge less for children. Also, there is a $4. pp admission charge to the park.

What do they charge for chairs and umbrellas?

I went there 2 days ago. No chairs, no umbrellas. Everyone sat on towels. Water was ok. Bathrooms ok. There was one operation renting kayaks and paddle boards. Guy renting was friendly and helpful. $10 pp for taxi ride each way and $4 pp over 12 years old to enter beach. There was an open air bar at one end and I did see servers walking the beach. $15 minimum on cc purchases. Overall opinion...if I go back to stt, I would go to a different beach. It was $166 for 4 adults and 2 kids and we were ready to go back after about 40 minutes and we are beach people (kids are 8 years old).

Every time we went there you could rent chairs from the concessions for $5 or $7. Is this something new?
