Great Bay Beach 12/2022

[Cruiseoholic000]

We are thinking of taking a water taxi to front street and then walk over to Great Bay Beach (little bay rd) in December.  Is there a place to rent beach chairs and umbrellas?  If so what is the cost and can you book ahead of time.  How is the water in this area?

Water taxi drops one at the pier in Great Bay.  Plenty of eager and very attentive vendors will enthusiastically encourage one to frequent their section of the beach.@ $20 for two beds and umbrella.  There is no pre-booking.

The water?
There is a, let’s say effluent, problem with a sewer outfall at the Marina end of the bay.  Best to alight the water taxi at midtown stop, along short pier, turn left (Duty Free and Public Toilets immediately to your left),  then keep walking until one reaches the furthest point, then select the position.  Plenty of bars and restaurants all along the bay who allow use of toilets if a customer.

We have done this multiple times pre-covid.  There are numerous places to rent chairs & umbrellas. All charges roughly the same price but quality of chairs and umbrella can be very different. Make sure you know exactly what you are getting for your money.  Also, some of the places have access to restrooms.  This is helpful as well. Make sure you ask prior to paying.   

 

Along the boardwalk there are numerous restaurants where you can get lunch.
