Where to go for shade on Ocean Day?

[jkgourmet]

We won't stay on the beach for more than a couple of hours, so it seems foolish to rent an umbrella for the entire day.

 

So - is there an area on the beach that has some shade?

Sadly no. Palm trees were planted in December and won't give you enough shade. Spend $15 for an umbrella.

We found enough shade here and there in December so that we didnt need to get an umbrella.  I suppose it would depend on what time of year, what time of day, how sensitive to sun you are and (the biggest factor) the weather that day.  For only two hours Id be willing to roll the dice and rent on island for the slight upcharge if absolutely needed.

When the trees have matured, there will be some shade. Now, there is nothing. Umbrella costs $12.99 if purchased prior to arriving to the island. Otherwise, it is $14.99 because of Bahama taxes.

You could hang out at the lighthouse bar or maybe around the Seekers food buffet.
