We took a day trip to Blackbeard's Cay from our cruise ship in hopes of a relaxing day on the beach. Everything was fine for about 20 minutes until the Yellowbird party cruise boat pulled up. The people who got off the boat were so drunk, loud and obnoxious...particularly in the water....that it made our experience very unpleasant and we ...
We went on a Cruise on Jume 9, 2009. I have been to Nassua a dz times. I NEVER book shore excursions through the ship. I found online Blackbeards Cay. I contacted them direct via email and got a fast response from Tryone. Tryone told me where to go when I got off the ship. He had great instructions. We boarded the ferry to Blackbeards Cay. It was a ...
Since no diving excursions were offered on my most recent trip to the Bahamas, my friend and I decided to swim with the Southern Stingrays at Blackbeard's Cay. The beach area was clean, albeit clearly infested with sand fleas, as upon leaving for the day, I looked as though I had contracted the chicken pox (and I am still itching ...

Will never go back!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/19/09
Grand Cayman Stingray tour was awesome compared to this. The sand fleas were so bad on the island. You could not lay out on a chair as you were covered by the fleas in seconds. I have had to see a doctor for my bites as I have so many and they are beginning to infect and the itching is worse than chicken pox. The island is beautiful but would never do it again.
If you want a real stingray feeding trip, head to Stingray City on Grand Cayman Island. There are no fenced-in areas and seaweed all over, just the beautiful crystal clear Caribbean and free-roaming stingrays, miles from the shore and the island run-off. Took the grandkids in December and was very disappointed in the weedy beach area and cloudy ...

Planning to do Blackbeard Cay tour in January 2009
I am so thankful to all of you that wrote reviews warning of the bugs! As for the sand fleas, I will use Skin So Soft repellent before getting to the Cay and also take along some Benadryl - it always helps me with an insect bite reaction! I want to go to as many islands as I can so I just can't pass this one up! I took the 2 - Day Nassau ...

Sting Ray Adventure
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/26/08
My wife and I visited Blackbeards Cay when we cruised to New Providence on Carnival Cruise Lines. The weather was perfect that day, the trip included petting and feeding the sting rays. Afterwards we had lunch at the outdoor grill. The food, consisting of cheeseburger, chips, and soda was good. Time went by quickly and we had to leave way too soon. ...
My boyfriend & I went on the carnival cruise though out the Bahamas in middle June 2008 and we were horrible disappointed in Blackbeard’s Beach. The ride over was nothing special, once off the ferry, we wandered over to see what the beach offered. NOTHING. You could Pay MORE to snorkel, ride the aqua trax or canoe. Take in mind this ...

Beautiful Day!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/27/08
We just went to Blackbeards Cay over Spring Break, 08. We had booked the day excursion through Carnival Cruise line. We had beautiful weather and very much enjoyed our time at the beach. There were plenty of lounge chairs for everyone and it did not feel overly crowded. The water was warm and crystal clear and we did not encounter any problem ...

Sea fleas galore!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/30/07
We visited Blackbeard's Cay December 23, 2007. The tender ride from the cruise dock to the island was smooth because we were behind the breakwaters almost all the way. We had a great day there but had no idea until later that night that we had been under siege by sand fleas!!! Our teenage daughter had nearly 100 bites just on her legs! The ...
