With five cruise ships carrying a combined 18,000+ passengers set to dock today, we decided to stay low key and check out one beach right around the corner and revisit the kids’ favorite: Brewer’s Bay.
First up: Lindquist Beach. It was a quick two-minute drive from our condo, and the beach definitely filled up with cruisers. No bother, the beach was plenty big to fit us all comfortably. The kids weren’t really feeling the vibe at this beach, so after a couple of beach walks we packed up and headed back to the condo for some lunch.
This beach stretched much further than we thought. By walking around some bends and over some rocky patches, we were a stone’s throw from our honeymoon hotel. Though we couldn’t remember exactly which room we stayed in, Caleb and I are certain that our room was one of a few on this side of the building. A real shame that it’s abandoned now.
After lunch we headed up to the lookout to see the cruise ships. We spied five, and the kids fantasized what it would be like to ride the top deck roller coasters and water slides.
Then back to Brewer’s Bay for the second time this trip where we found more sea glass, watched planes take off (after waiting a hefty amount of time on the runway while a steady stream on planes landed), and the boys spotted a humongous crab and a stingray while snorkeling. A pretty fantastic afternoon! We stuck around to catch a bit of the sunset and watch the cruise ships leave before we headed back up to the lookout to watch the last two ships set sail.
Favorites of the day:
Caleb: Seeing a stingray while snorkeling with the boys.
Morgan: Walking the beach with Caleb to get an up close view of our abandoned honeymoon hotel.
Jacob: Seeing the stingray.
Mason: Watching the cruise ships leave.
Camryn: Seeing the cruise ship move and honk. And walking on the beach and seeing your old hotel.
