The beaches are quite pretty, though the ones closest to the dock can become crowded if the cruise ship is carrying many families. Consider taking a shuttle to one of the areas to the left from where you tender in. A few lifeguards watch the designated swimming areas. Some snorkeling can be enjoyed around rock ledges on the protected side, but the resort insists that snorkelers rent/use bouyancy vests, making diving problematic. Swimming on the Atlantic side can be tricky due to undertows and sharp rocks/coral if there is a brisk wind often. Padded beach chairs are available at no charge.
Cruise line activity staff usually organize a volleyball game at the volleyball court.
For a fee:
Children of all ages may also enjoy a modest waterpark with floating waterslides.
Adults can ride the Dragon's Breath zip line, a long but fast cable slide starting from high atop a nearby hill and ending in the resort. Riders are first trained on a small line Jan 2008 fee: $80.
Jetskis and other "water toys" are available for rental.
The cruise lines run snorkeling, kayaking and sightseeing excursions.
