Location of Sand Bar

[elklemi]

I want to go to the Sand Bar on my next visit and if I take taxi into Cockburn Town and get dropped off can I easily walk to the Sand Bar? I can't find where it is exactly located.

Thank you,

A taxi will drop you off right at the Sand Bar. The main street of the town with the shopping is just a few short blocks up from there. Easily walked.

Hi. Thinking of taxi to sandollar for food. Can we walk down to gov after? Then up to st to get over to jacks? Then ship? Maybe should say were healthy sixty yr olds. Need umbrella and chairs when sit on any beach, prettiest possible. Thanks.

Not sure what the sandollar is, but if you mean Sand Bar, look at the map, it's nowhere close to Jacks and the ship.

Yes, sorry. meant sand bar and didn't see the legend on map - a bit too far to walk! :o

 

was hoping for good local food/seafood and sand bar has sounded better than jacks. if food remains important, we can taxi to Sand Bar, then to Gov for the chairs. i understand gov does not offer umbrella rental. do you know if the shade trees there are the ones i've read about that drop the burrs? if so, may just stop at jacks and hope not too crowded. (looks like only our ship in port that day, mon feb 16; 8am-3pm). Thanks...

Nitemare is right. The SandBar is in town, which is about 3 miles from the cruise ship port. Taxis have zones on Grand Turk and a ride from the cruise center into town is $5 per person. Jack's Shack and Governor's Beach are at the south end of the island near the cruise ship port.

thanks. given 8am-3pm time -- perhaps walk (or taxi) to gov (assuming no-burrs shade tree avail!), rent chairs for morn. taxi to sand bar for local lunch. taxi back to jacks for whatever time left to walk to pier for boarding. sound better?
