Cockleshell was awesome! We had a few of our cruise ship friends tell us to come here. The snorkeling was out of this world!! So many conch shells. We went from one end to the other side of the beach. We stopped and ate at miss debs shack and the chicken and drinks were wonderful. We also decorated her shack with conch shells we found! We will be back here, good fun spot

Beach is very clean. There is a bar/restaurant where you can be served from your lounge chair. There are options to rent jet skis and kayaks and get messages. We found that a lot of people from the Marriott and Hyatt go here because it is one of the nicest and closest.
