点评:After our short visit to Nelson's Dockyard, our ship excursion included a one hour visit for a swim in Pigeon Point Beach on a Saturday afternoon. The beach had a mix of locals and other cruise passengers who most likely had bought an excursion to Nelson's Dockyard and the beach like us. It's not a beach used by cruisers due to the distance from the port so the beach area isn't crowded.
There is a nice, clean washroom across from the parking lot. This facility has sinks and toilets, but no showers. A lady takes your entrance money to use the facilities. We had a cruise ship voucher so paying for this use was not an issue.
There is shade from small trees at the beach, but no loungers/chairs for rent from the small restaurant at the beach near the parking lot. The white sand is soft and extends into the water. It is a clean beach with no sea weed in the water. There is minimal surf as the water gently laps onto the beach. The drop off from shore into the water is gradual - just right for swimmers who like to touch the bottom while paddling around, but also deep enough further on for swimmers who dislike shallower water. There also is a good stretch of sand to walk along as the tide laps gently at the shoreline. The beach is in the vicinity of a harbour so beachgoers can occasionally see ships passing by the shore.
We spent about 45 minutes in the water with my hubby and me taking turns being in the water while one of us sat on the towel beside our belongings. It was enough time to feel refreshed and to have good memories of this beach should we buy another excursion to Nelson's Dockyard.
Take 2 towels along pp - one to sit on and one to dry off.
翻译:在我们短暂参观尼尔森造船厂后,我们的游船之旅包括周六下午在鸽子角海滩游泳一小时。海滩上有当地人和其他游轮乘客,他们很可能像我们一样购买了尼尔森造船厂和海滩的短途旅行。由于距港口较远,这不是游轮使用的海滩,因此海滩区域并不拥挤。
停车场对面有一个漂亮、干净的洗手间。该设施有水槽和厕所,但没有淋浴。一位女士会收取您的入场费来使用这些设施。我们有一张游轮优惠券,所以支付这种使用费用不是问题。
海滩上有小树遮荫,但停车场附近海滩上的小餐厅没有躺椅/椅子可供出租。白色的沙子很软,一直延伸到水里。这是一片干净的海滩,水中没有海草。当海水轻轻拍打海滩时,海浪很少。从岸边落入水中的过程是渐进的 - 非常适合喜欢在划动时接触底部的游泳者,但对于不喜欢浅水的游泳者来说也足够深。当潮水轻轻拍打海岸线时,还有一大片沙滩可供漫步。海滩位于港口附近,因此海滩游客偶尔可以看到船只经过海岸。
我们在水里待了大约 45 分钟,我和丈夫轮流在水里,其中一个人坐在我们的物品旁边的毛巾上。如果我们再去尼尔森造船厂游览的话,这段时间已经足够让我们感到精神焕发,并为这个海滩留下美好的回忆了。
随身携带 2 条毛巾 - 一条用来坐,另一条用来擦干。
