Swim or boats only

A very unique destination. A quick ferry ride gets you to a separate paradise. Eat swim snorkel its all there. Live entertainment good food great for your whole family. Food service is slow, so it gives you time to check out other things.

Beautiful beach

You can snorkel right off the beach and see tons of fish. The beach is clean and beautiful. There is a restaurant on the beach but we didn't eat there so can't tell you if it is good

Check Zillow but I suggest the East end of the Island if you can find a good deal.

Coming down and staying a week on the island and been to Protestant Cay on a cruise years ago. We are renting a jeep this time, where is the best place to park and any ideas on parking costs? Thanks!

Well, you can park at Strand Street, or take your chances parking on the side streets. The fort only allows 2 hour parking. We rented a car for 3 days, 2 nights of trying to find parking was a hazzle.
