This was up and over the mountain from where we stayed but it was beautiful and almost empty. There was a small restaurant for food and drinks. More

This was a picture perfect bay. The swimming was great, though it was a little too rough that day too snorkel so we will have to return. More

We were two out of eight people total on the entire beach. The water is clear and warm, the sand is soft, and there are plenty of palm trees for shade. We went for two days - one day the water was extremely calm and on the other day, it was a little rough but still swimable. The bar had... More

I have been snorkeling in many different places and this was by far the best. It had the biggest variety of fish, and largest fish I have seen. There were 4 of us so we rented a car to get here (it turned out to be cheaper than the taxis they way they charge for them) More

Brewers is almost always the 1st place I run to when the cruise ships come in & ruin your day @ CGB. I hope they NEVER fix the perilous road to Brewers & keep the cruise ship folks out forever! Lunch/drinks @ Nicole's is a must, he's a great guy. Snorkel out to the left for an easy, picturesque swim.... More

After reading other reviews we decided to go to a beach for our first cruise stop. We are not into big crowds and heavy drinking so we skipped Cane Garden Bay and selected Brewer's Bay- A perfect choice for us. Getting off the boat all of the taxis are being stuffed to go to Cane Garden. We didn't get one... More

My husband and I came here off of a RCCL ship. We decided to go to this beach because it didn't seem as though it would be as busy (I think most of the ship expeditions went to Cane Garden Bay) and it wasn't. It was a short drive (about 15-20 mins, $15 per person round trip), and we had... More

If you are looking for a nice beach, forget this place. The sand was dirty, campground vacant and full of trash, was kinda like being at the local lake beach. The only thing going for it was the outstanding snorkeling. The bar had no idea how to make a good pain killer drink compared to others. Make your trip to... More
