CocoCay PhotoEssay

This is actually an older post that I am recycling, because there have been some questions about CocoCay recently, and because I thought some of our newer members might enjoy it.

Click on any of the underlined words or phrases to see a related photo.

CocoCay is a little slice of paradise, and it's yours for the day, courtesy of our friends at Royal Caribbean.

There are no cars on Coco Cay. No trains. No asphalt paved streets. No politicians, or horse thieves either. There IS the occasionalIguana. But you have to look for them They aren't big on socializing.

On CocoCay Day, hope it's no stormier than this or you may end up staying on board.

There IS white, white sand (ground coral, really, it's not too soft) and birthday-cake turquoise icing colored clear, clear water. And tropical palms

You'll tender over on one of RCL's Coco Cutters.

As you tender in, you'll see the fountain in the tender harbor . Stepping off the tender, look right to find a small straw market made especially for those who just can't port without shopping. And to your left, is a place to grab a beach wheel chair, if you, or someone in your party should need it.

There will be a crew member at the tender disembarkation point to orient you to the island, and there are also numerous signs showing the way to varioius parts of the island.


Head fairly straight ahead, past one of the many watering holes, and past the dive shop to find your way to the main beach, where you can wade, beachcomb, float on a mat, or just relax.

If you are an active type, there are plenty of activities, including organized ones, like volley ball, (even a tournament), or individual ones, like snorkeling (you might even see an eagle ray!), parasailing, kayaking, and windsurfing. Of course, everyone's favorite cruise activity - eating - is a part of it too, as RCL provides a greatisland barbeque for you.

Head to your right from the main beach, where you'll find more watering holes, a water park, and farther along, more beaches that are less crowded, and offer hammocks.

As you can tell, I am a BIG fan of Coco Cay. I've even given instructions that my survivors are to book a trip on the Sovereign, and scatter my ashes in the water off Coco Cay, my idea of paradise
