fourandtwo Posted February 10, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I know Jack's Shack is a ten minute walk down the beach. However, we will have our 4 kids: 13, 11, 6, and 5. There is a 6 seater golf cart for rent. I was thinking it might be worth it to easily get to Jack's, and then tour around the island. Or is it really an easy walk on packed sand (with 4 kids in the sun, and then back again!) Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pellaz Posted February 12, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I know Jack's Shack is a ten minute walk down the beach. However, we will have our 4 kids: 13, 11, 6, and 5.

Or is it really an easy walk on packed sand (with 4 kids in the sun, and then back again!) Thanks! I'm just back from a visit there last Saturday. It's a relatively short walk on the beach as you know, but I'd hesitate to call the sand "packed." The easiest walking is right along the surf zone just above where the waves are stopping, but that can be tricky and I know from experience that a sudden wave can swamp your shoes, so I'd suggest walking shoes. Further back from the water the sand is more challenging; a bit like unpacked snow. If you have any desire to see the rest of the island beyond Jack's, I'd say go ahead and rent a 6-seater. a typical six-hour visit would provide plenty of time to visit Jack's, pay your respects to Topher,* and check out the town and the lighthouse. --- * when I was there all he wanted was to play in the surf :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teknoge3k Posted February 14, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Yea you're there a while, don't limit yourself to just 1 thing to do. Get the golf cart and go have fun! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpine6 Posted February 25, 2018 #5 Share Posted February 25, 2018 We recently spent the day in GT with our four kids, 13,10,10,3. We chose to walk to Jack's Shack and it was a bit long and definitely not packed sand, but totally doable worth the kids. Try the jerk chicken! Worth the walk to get away from the crowd, although there is a close by commercial pier and boat launch, so watch the kids for sure with boats coming and going. If you want to explore, go for the rental. Sent from my SM-G955U1 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted February 26, 2018 #6 Share Posted February 26, 2018 If all you are doing is going to Jack's, you'll walk further to get a golf cart and when you do you'll be a few wheel rolls from the road entrance to Jack's. Golf carts are located outside the cruise port gates which are past the shopping and taxi stand and parking lot. If you're going to travel around the island, get the golf cart, do your tour,drop the group off at Jack's, go turn the cart in, head across the road to Jack's and then walk back to the ship from there.
