Book coaster rides →Premium waterfront cabanas set along the turquoise cove at Nellie's Beach, with sun loungers, shade, floating mats, and personal service. Book months in advance — they sell out instantly.
Book cabana rentals →Guided snorkel tour along Labadee's coral-fringed coastline, with equipment provided. The waters around the peninsula hold decent coral and reef fish.
Book snorkel tours →Rent jet skis, kayaks, paddle boards, or floating mats along the calmer cove beaches. Parasailing also available for aerial views of the peninsula.
Book watersports →Browse handcrafted wood carvings, paintings, metalwork, and jewelry by Haitian artisans. The indoor Artisan Market uses SeaPass; the outdoor Straw Market is cash-only with active haggling.
Explore local crafts →The resort's paved tram path doubles as a scenic walking route connecting all four beaches.
Walk from the pier entrance past the Dragon's Cafe buffet, through Nellie's Beach, and all the way to Columbus Cove. The calmest water and the Aqua Park are at the far end. Return via the tram.
