点评:I just wanted to write this review for other people looking for an interesting place to go off a cruise ship and want to avoid the packed beaches, tourist shops and ridiculously overpriced port tours.
I planned this day for my family of 5 - three teens 12, 15 and 18. We got off the boat and walked into town and caught the # 12 bus. The 10 also works. I’m not even sure what street it was. We just walked straight down off the boat and turned right, walked a few streets, going past people trying to get us into cabs and saw the buses down a street on our left. A woman stopped us and wanted $125 round-trip by taxi to take us to love beach. 😂 tried to convince us it was too far, etc.. - it’s not.
We got on the bus which felt was a tad sketchy but turned out to be really awesome. We told the driver we wanted to go to Love Beach and asked him to drop us off at the Nirvana beach bar. It was two dollars each. He wound his way through traffic a little bit and then took the water all the way down. We picked up locals along the way, some who worked at the resorts others were students. It was actually cool to see a little bit of local life.
He was super kind and dropped us off right at the beach bar and told us to walk down. We went into the bar area and paid $5 each for access to all of their amenities - washrooms, shower to rinse your feet and great food was also available. We rented a beach chair for seven dollars and the worker brought it right down to the beach for us and took it right back up at the end of the day.
When we got there at 10:45 it was totally empty except for two other people who were renting condos nearby. It was absolutely stunning. We brought snorkels with us and spent two hours just looking at the little fish in the reef just in front of the beach bar.
It was an absolutely perfect day. We caught the bus back around 3 o’clock so we wouldn’t miss our ship time at 4:30. The bus going back was hysterical. The driver had a giant TV, playing music videos the whole time and my teens thought it was the coolest thing ever. In fact, what started off as a bit sketchy turned out to be their favourite part of our entire vacation.
Love Beach is perfect. Can’t recommend this highly enough.
Total cost for 5 - $45 plus our food. Beats the $900 Canadian they wanted for a resort day pass with the ship 🙄 and we had a much better and more authentic day.
Do not be afraid of the local bus! Of course be smart, don’t walk alone in sketchy areas etc. but especially if you’re with a few people, the bus will be a very cool experience. We thought people would look at us weirdly - tourists on their local bus - but not at all. Just people going about their day.

我为我的 5 口之家计划了这一天 - 三个分别为 12 岁、15 岁和 18 岁的青少年。我们下了船,步行进城,搭乘 12 路公交车。 10 也可以。我什至不知道那是哪条街。我们直接下了船,右转,走了几条街,经过试图让我们上出租车的人,看到我们左边一条街上有公共汽车。一位女士拦住了我们,要了 125 美元的出租车往返费,带我们去爱情海滩。 😂 试图说服我们这太远了,等等……-事实并非如此。
我们上了公共汽车,感觉有点粗略,但结果真的很棒。我们告诉司机我们想去爱情海滩,并请他让我们在 Nirvana 海滩酒吧下车。每份是两美元。他在车流中绕了一小段路,然后把水一路冲下去。我们一路上接了当地人,有些是在度假村工作的,有些是学生。看到一点当地的生活真的很酷。
他非常友善,把我们送到了海滩酒吧并告诉我们步行下去。我们走进酒吧区,每人支付 5 美元即可使用所有便利设施 - 洗手间、用于冲洗脚的淋浴,而且还提供美味的食物。我们花了七美元租了一张沙滩椅,工作人员直接把它带到海滩上,并在一天结束时把它带回来。
当我们 10 点 45 分到达那里时,除了另外两个在附近租公寓的人外,那里空无一人。这绝对是令人惊叹的。我们带了通气管,花了两个小时观察海滩酒吧前面的礁石里的小鱼。
这真是完美的一天。我们是 3 点左右乘车回来的,这样就不会错过 4:30 的发船时间。回去的巴士歇斯底里。司机有一台巨大的电视,一直在播放音乐视频,我十几岁的孩子认为这是有史以来最酷的事情。事实上,一开始有点粗略的事情结果是他们在我们整个假期中最喜欢的部分。
爱情海滩是完美的。强烈推荐这个。
总共 5 美元 - 45 美元加上我们的食物。比他们想要的 900 美元加拿大船票 🙄 的度假日通行证还要便宜,我们度过了更好、更真实的一天。
不要害怕当地的巴士!当然要聪明一点,不要独自行走在人迹罕至的地方等。但特别是如果你和几个人一起,乘坐公共汽车将是一次非常酷的体验。我们以为人们会用奇怪的眼神看着我们——乘坐当地巴士的游客——但事实并非如此。只是人们过着自己的一天。
