    The beach was nice it was not too crowded if you use the part of the beach behind the stoned crab restaurant. They charge for beach chairs there and umbrella. Well maintained area behind the restaurant and swing set on the beach perfect photo opportunity! You can get taxi from port $14 round trip per person.

    Found some good deals. I bought a sweatshirt and hat. My friends bought tons of souvenirs. It was fun to see some of the culture and talk to locals.

    I love to visit gardens wherever we travel. The Butterfly Garden was beautiful. Hard to catch them on the frame long enough to get a good picture. Plenty to see and lots more f photos to take. Although you can tell that the garden was hit and effected by the storms it still help plenty if its beauty. I can imagine what it’s going to look like in the next year or so. Thank you Ms. Marilyn.

    We decided the skip the expensive cruise excursions and go out on our own. We had to be back at the ship by 1, so we didn’t want to venture too far away. This ended up being a good choice.

    In Freeport there doesn’t seem to be anywhere to walk to outside of the port area. Within the port area there are taxi drivers who will greet you and you can tell them where you want to go.

    For $40 per person they took us to Lucayan National Park and Black Rock beach. Our driver stayed parked there the whole time so we could leave whenever we wanted to.

    About a 30 minute drive, we got to a parking lot where we paid to get into the park. I don’t remember the exact breakdown but for 4 adults and one child (under 12) it was $50. The park was a short loop trail. Mostly flat (not wheelchair accessible) with stairs leading into the caves. The caves have viewing platforms - you’re not going to be wandering through, just looking. Bats, fish, pretty blue water. Along the trail were signs about the wildlife and trees. We saw butterflies and birds and lizards. I think we only spent about 20 minutes in that loop. I would have enjoyed more longer trails but it seems like that’s all there was.

    We then walked right across the road to Black Rock beach. It was nearly empty with only one other family. Later 2 larger tour groups came through, but most of the time it was just the 2 small groups. The beach itself is truly beautiful and peaceful. Soft sand and perfect turquoise water. Little to no seaweed. Low tide meant plenty of space to stroll through shallow water. There was a local who was renting out chairs, though we chose not to. And selling food. Looked like he was setting up a grill. We bought a fresh coconut which he prepared for us to drink then then cut up for us to eat, and some chips.

    When we were ready we just went back to the waiting cab driver and got back to port by around noon.

    A day pass to this park was one of the options on our Margaritaville cruise. 4 of us decided the dock morning to go quickly signed up with 30 minutes to spare and loaded unto a bus to get to the park. Easy 20+ minute ride. We paid for the food drink option and it was totally worth it. We really enjoyed the few hours off the ship. We swan, kayaker, used the swings, my brother jetski, we even booked 25 minutes massage on the beach. Took pics of baby pigs on paddle boards. The food provided was yummy and the Bahamas mamas refreshing. We really enjoyed ourselves.

    This was an interesting walk through the park reading all about the history of the island. It's not huge and doesn't take along time to walk it but make sure you got a camera when you go down deeper into the caves.

    After spending a long day driving around Freeport, we were passing the brewery and decided to stop in. Had a very lovely tour guide who explained the process very thoroughly. She was very sweet and then we were given samples at the end at a little tiny bar. We were the only ones at the brewery so it was truly a great experience.

    We visited in 2017 and this was one of my favorite beaches. Since the hurricane, the landscape has changed, and although the beach is still beautiful, it seemed a lot more dirty than before. The area we parked in was littered with garbage, which is sad for such a gorgeous place. We did not stay for very long after seeing a man walking the beach in a long-sleeved sweatshirt and carrying an aluminum baseball bat. Although it is still a very pretty spot, there is an odd feeling about it. We will return on our next visit since the beaches are the prettiest I've ever seen.

    This is the site of the “straw market,” some shops and restaurants. On non-cruise days, there are fewer vendors. The range of restaurants was good—from local (Daddy Brown’s Conch Stand) to brick and mortar places such as Zorba’s (primarily though not exclusively Greek); Agave (Latin Fusion); Flying Fish and several others. The “ambience” of Rum Runner lounge may be more appealing to a younger crowd.

    Went on a kayak and snorkeling trip with Calabash Eco Adventures and loved the snorkeling around the Cay - completely worth it going out there. Reef is looking very alive with hard corals and an abundance of tropical fish. Had one nurse shark swimming round us towards the end (they're harmless and uninterested in us), and then shortly afterwards found one resting on top of the reef (somewhat unusual as they like to sleep under overhangs/in caves). The resting nurse shark decided it didn't like snorkelers staring at it, and swam away - straight underneath me! I could have touched it if I wanted, but I left it alone - scary and exciting. It was not nesting season for the protected birds, so we didn't see the reason this is a protected area, but you probably don't go to Peterson Cay to see birds.
