Take Advantage of the Beach

With all the activities available on the boat, many visitors enjoy the chance to relax on the beach. Coco Cay’s beaches are exquisite, some of the best in the Caribbean. So take advantage of a day to lounge or swim in the crystal clear waters. You can even try snorkeling or kayaking if you’re feeling more adventurous.

Explore the Island

Coco Cay is full of hidden gems; make sure to leave yourself some time to explore the island. Try taking a walk around to discover the hidden coves and enjoy a nature trail to the beaches. You can also explore the island’s lush rainforest and take in the breathtaking views.

Research Dining Options

Of course, Coco Cay is owned by Royal Caribbean, so you can expect the same level of excellence for all your dining experiences on Coco Cay as you would aboard the boat. So make sure you take the time to scout out the best dining options to fit your day. Coco Cay offers a variety of options, including Skipper’s Grill and Captain Jack’s, for casual dining. For an additional fee the Coco Beach Club offers a day pass where you can sample Mediterranean flavors in its sophisticated restaurant. There are also several grab-and-go locations, like the Chill Grill, which offers standard beach fare, and a variety of places to grab a cocktail, such as a swim-up bar at the Oasis Lagoon. No matter what you’re craving, there are excellent options available.
