CRUISING TO THE BAHAMAS:
PRINCESS CAYS Page three BEACHES |
|
|
The beaches at Princess Cays can be divided into five areas. Four of the beach areas have fine white sand extending down into the water. However, the island is naturally rocky and so you can find rocks even in the sandy beaches. The water around Princess Cays is very clear.
|
|
|
To the south of the tender piers is Little Bay. 
|
|
|
Immediately west of the tender cove, is the
Sailboats and Water Sports Beach. Here, all sorts of aqua equipment is marshaled on the beach for rental by visitors. |
|
The next beach is designated on the map simply as "Swimming Area." It is a large crescent shaped beach with white sand, palm trees and rows of sun loungers.
|
|
|
Next is North Beach. An offshore observation pavilion that juts out into the sea marks the end of the developed sandy beach.
|
Beyond the Offshore Pavilion is an area marked on the map as "Reef." Through its clear wateryou can see the rocky bottom. Not surprisingly, therefore, it is used for snorkeling.
Beyond the Reef area, the coastline essentially is undeveloped. |
|
|
|
|
|
There is a wide assortment of chairs and facilities for relaxing by the beach ranging from sun loungers to private bungalows. In addition, there is a separate sanctuary area (below right). This adults-only area
is based upon the sanctuary area concept on the Princess ships and features air-conditioned bungalows. |
