Heading back to Bahamas, Junkanoo nearest beach ?

[Beer Belly]

We cruised Bahamas 2 years ago, wanted to hit the nearest beach but never did because a time change to our shore excursion to Blue Lagoon screwed up our plans. If I remember, Junkanoo beach was a 15 minute walk, make a right from the Port and keep going. Tell me about Junkanoo.....is it safe ?....can we hit the water, leave our stuff at the beach towel ?.....someone mentioned there are restrictions on local vendors, stopping them from bothering people on the beach to buy thier wares, once off the beach, it's game on.

That sounds right, you can see it from the ship, relatively safe, harbor beach, food and drink for sale, umbrellas and chairs to rent, I’ve never heard of a vendor free beach anywhere, we were bothered frequently at Atlantis and RIU.
