I was born and raised in a city that's close to the beach. So I have always gone as long as I can remember. I can't imagine how anyone could live in the middle of the country and never experience the ocean. The ocean is such a calming force of nature. I love to sit and listen to the waves and smell the saltiness of the air. Ahhhhh.
first time on the beach? hmmm....I was very small and I think it was Tampa. I remember my older brothers and sisters desperate to watch the cars racing on the sand. We also went to Pompino Beach....don't remember much about either trips as I said I was too young to remember much. I did swim in the ocean at Cavendish Beach several times growing up and loved it...but, brrrrrr....it was cold. (hardy cannucks). When I first landed in Miami for a cruise I could feel it in my bones...I had to get to the beach and I wasn't disappointed....the sand, the sun, the breeze.....ahhhhhhh. I was born for this! :)
WELCOME TO MY BEAUTIFUL ISLANS 🇰🇳🇰🇳
If wanting to tour the whole island, including a stop at the beach, I recommend Thenford Grey tours. Older gentleman that know everything about his home and it's history. We have been on island tours on a lot of Caribbean islands and his tour was far an away the best we have been on.
Awww it looks amazing !!!! That lovely clear water and white sand , very jealous and want to visit .First real swim in the sea was south of france , age 14 in 1985 !!
I first saw the ocean when I was 7. We went to Bradenton, Florida. I was immediately in love!
Now I wish we were going to St Kitts on our cruise, because I would LOVE to spend the morning on a relatively quiet beach. Looks like a great place.
I grew up by the ocean in Florida so I don't remember the first time I saw the ocean. But i vividly remember seeing snow for the first time. I couldn't get outside fast enough! It felt like something magical. I still get that feeling when I see snow falling.
And I can't imagine not seeing snow as I grew up in Minnesota!
Traveled to California with parents in 1972 at age 6. We stopped at Long Beach on our way from LA to San Francisco . We were the only people there
No secret word today. Oh, well. Like you, I was raised on lakes, but in Ontario. I was literally born on the shore of Lake Erie which is where the hospital is located in my hometown. Then we moved to Toronto and we had Lake Ontario. I waterskied in it once and never got in it again...it's a very cold lake. (Lake Erie can get pretty warm so we did swim there.) Then there were various lakes in cottage country in Ontario. My first 'view' of the ocean was when I visited with my grandmother who was living in Nova Scotia at the time, when I was about 11. Didn't swim there, it's MUCH colder than Lake Ontario in the North Atlantic. My first ocean swim was on my first cruise to the Caribbean in 1995 on the Carnival Holiday! It was beautiful. I even swam with the stingrays on that cruise. OK. That's the answer to the question. Pick your own magic/secret word from the comment. LOL
Thumbs up! Thanks Morgan!
Circus World/Boardwalk and Baseball! I visited both parks. I remember loving them when I was there but not sure they would have stood the test of time. Well, obviously they didn't!
I’ve been enjoying a lot of your older videos to get my cruise fix while no one is able to cruise. You asked in this one when we first saw the ocean.... not until collage! We only lived 2 hrs from the ocean so there was really no excuse! Now I’m obsessed and want to escape to the ocean every chance I can. Both of my kids have been to the beach as babies.
First trip to the ocean Hawaii! So many people!! Your ocean day was much more chill!
I’ve never been there but after seeing this I want to go! Beautiful beach.
New to your channel, im catching up on your video's all week, very entertaining and informative. Thank you! I've Been to st kitts last year with the allure of the seas. Beautiful Island isnt iT!?
Yes, we loved it!
You already know we like Carambola Beach Resort. Too bad you didn't try the sushi. My first time at the ocean was in Prince Edward Island and it was our families first trip outside of Ontario. The water in the Atlantic was very cold. I remember the tide was very interesting to me. It went out and we looked for clams. I was 8, or so.
That looks like my kind of beach. Nice and quiet and relaxed. I like what you said about cruising, that you have a different view each day. I live near the Pacific Ocean near Vancouver, BC so I saw the ocean a lot when I was a kid. But it is not as nice as St. Kitts, it is salty and full of seaweed.
Living in FLorida....I never just sit at a beach when on a cruise.....Just my own way of doing things...I like to explore the island and the stores. I stay safe in the right areas but I am glad you are enjoying it.
My first memory of the ocean was when I was about 6 or 7 years old. We lived in Homestead Florida and our parents took us to the Keys. Our hotel room had a balcony where you could fish in the ocean. I was so amazed by that! Then I went with my brother exploring near where the water met the sand and saw my very first starfish and crab. I would love to go back to the Keys again.
Fishing from the balcony?!?! That's awesome!
I grew up in Santa Cruz, CA. I can never get enough of the ocean!
I had lunch two weeks ago at Carambola Beach Club restaurant. It was a rainy so we didn't get to enjoy the beach too much. South Friar's beach is beautiful.
It was probably in lanzerotte when I was very little I loved it running into the water and jumping over the waves getting my bucket and trying to bring water back to my sun lounger but every time I tried to do this I'd spill all the water on the way so my bucket would be practically empty by the time we got back but I'd keep doing it and try and fill the little hole I'd made in the sand 😅
That sounds so cute. I bet you were frolicking, too!
I was a year old when I first saw the ocean. Obviously, I don't remember it but my mom said I crawled toward it the entire time and my sisters had to go keep chasing me and bringing me back up on the beach.
1st trip to the ocean 2 years this october, next cruise in october also and i am in my fifty's love to cruise i am hooked
Your videos make me want to book my first cruise asap!!! Hopefully, one day I can! :)
Thanks for sharing.
This past January, we took the $20USD tour in St. Kitts and it was fabulous! The spot at 1:41 is has the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Caribbean Sea on the other (that is what the tour guide said!). There was a beach stop. We didn't bring stuff, so we went back to the boat. However, I liked St. Kitts! I thought it was a nice island :D
I want to visit St kitts. I've been doing research. Looks amazing. I like this beach you went too.
I sure wish we could go there today! :-P
@@VeryunOfficialTravelGuides oh I bet. I'm supposed to be in Cayman Islands right now, but it was canceled. Oh well. I went to Curacao last year. It was amazing.
Leaving for my cruise to st kitts, Bahamas, and st marteen in 25 days!
Hi Morgan 😀 My family, friends and I are planning upcoming cruises on the Royal Caribbean Independence of the Seas and the MSC Seaside and have been watching and enjoying your videos. I am also from Minnesota, but live in Florida and I love listening to your accent! 💚 Reminds me of home. Keep up the great work and we will continue watching and "virtually traveling" with you. Michelle from Owatonna 🛳🚢⚓️😊👍
Thanks, Michelle!
When I went to St Kitts my snorkeling trip got cancelled😢 but we went to Reggae Beach and it was soooo nice 👍
Why was it cancelled? What happened?
1st! looking forward to this!
I was smiling through the entire video. You really make my day! That beach looks beautiful. Something to consider on my cruise this December on Anthem! I remember back in the day my first visit to the beach was in Atlantic City. I thought that beach was beautiful. Little did I know back then! We went to the boardwalk as well and they had horse shows at the Steel Pier. The horses would jump off into a barrel. I thought that was the coolest thing along with the salt water taffy. Anyway, looking forward to your upcoming videos of the ship tour! Btw, I noticed you didn't have your beach shoes on! Haven't you learned a lesson? If you were wearing them you wouldn't have felt that fish biting your toes. I know I sound like your mom and I'm certainly old enough!
I never got a chance to visit Friars beach. I have been to Frigate Bay.
I never got a chance to visit Friars beach. I have been to Frigate Bay on the Southeast Peninsula.
Looks like you had a nice day. I have been to St Kitts two times and really didn't like it at all. Might try that beachclub next time.
Where did you hang out on St. Kitts that it left a bad taste?
Very unOfficial Travel Guides First time we took a tour all over the Island. Saw the fort and the glas bottle tree 😴, ended up on a beach with a reggae bar. Second time we asked for a nice beach, ended up at the same beach as the last time 😬
My wife and I were just at the Carambola Beach Club a couple of weeks ago. We took Greg's Safari tour that we booked on Adventure of the Seas and this was our last stop. We ended up spending most of our time sitting at the bar or in that round seating area under the fans because the beach was sooo hot. At least we got to take advantage of the free wifi there. There was a guy with a monkey there taking $5 pictures but it was worth it. Our guide there warned us not to get a massage because they go person to person without washing their hands!
And that is exactly the reason I would never get a massage from one of those people!
What a great video! How long is the taxi ride from the port to this beach club?
Sorry- the comment from David Mauskopf is really from Beth. You probably know that by now but I still wanted to make that clear. Beth
Another great video Morgan. The video was really relaxing, next time I head that way I will have to try that beach. I have to ask, though, and if you do not mind answering. What do you do for a living where you can go on vacation and travel so much? Thank you so much.

Thank you for the link, really appreciate it
I went on a excursion to go around the Island then went to a moonshine factory and for last they took me to that beach for 2 hour
I just found out Oasis is going to St Kitts instead of St Maarten. I'm glad to have some tips for my trip in 2 weeks! This place looks like a real possibility.
Did they change the itinerary because of Irma?
yes. St Maarten is in bad shape. But RCL is sending their ships with humanitarian aide and supplies and helping residents. It is so nice to hear. Makes me feel less guilty for enjoying my trip when I know I'll be helping St Kitts with tourist dollars and RCL is helping St Maarten.
I think you are going to have a great time!
Hi was there jet ski rentals one that beach
Yes there was when we were there, but they showed up later in the morning.
You got a fish pedicure (gratis)!! Well, at least the people at Orient Beach didn't want to braid your hair!! Never been to St. Kitt's - very nice! Did you eat any carambola fruit? We grow "star" fruit in FL.
Growing up in Brooklyn - my family went to Far Rockaway Beach every summer when I was a tot!! I remember hiding under the boardwalk when it got too hot on the sand, and the Good Humor man walking on the beach selling ice-cream!! And I think my dad taught me how to swim in the chilly Atlantic Ocean (amazing that up in NY the ocean water is very dark, but down in FL it is beautiful, aquamarine - and much warmer)!! Thanks for sharing Morgan! Always enjoy your videos!
This place looks amazing. Did you book this location before you arrived in St. Kitts or did you tell the cab driver where you wanted to go? Also, what were the prices for the amenities and for the facility? Was it a hassle to get back to your cruise ship? Missing a ship is the most expensive mistake a person can make while sailing.
We just went to the cabs and told them where we wanted to go. It was totally easy and not complicated. If you watch the video, I talk about the prices.
Was there taxis waiting for you to go Back??? also did you pre-book your stay at the club? Thk you
Hey Doreen! Yes, there were plenty of taxis waiting to go back, and you can also "reserve" one by telling the driver you have on the way there to pick you back up at a certain time. And no, we just booked our chairs when we got there to the club.
Well I must be blonde,as I watched it twice and did not hear a price for the taxi ,just for the beach chairs also are there taxi's waiting for you to get back?Thanks in advance :)
If I remember correctly, it was $10 per person, which is about average for the islands. It wasn't anything ridiculously high, and you know in advance.
Thank you very much an how do i get a taxi back?Are there plenty or do i have to ring one?thank you so much
There were plenty waiting, and you can also schedule a pick-up time with the driver who brought you there, as well.
go Minnesota! (I live there)
Great video, a bit of wind noise,which camera? there are wind reduction micro muffs
GoPro Hero 5.
Thanks just bought me one its a great cam try checking settings as it has 3 mics
Did I somehow miss the St. Maarten video?
I didn't make one this trip, but we went there! And I was there last year on the Harmony, from which I made two videos :-P
Also have you ever done the bubbles and galley tour?
No! What is that?
Very unOfficial Travel Guides it's when you get to see all the behind the scenes in the gallery as food is prepped: the head chefs make you brunch after the tour with unlimited refills of champagne 🥂🍾🥂
All these comments and no one asked the most obvious question. 630 in the morning, were you on the balcony naked? .....LOL.
Hahahahaaaaa! No! I had my undies on already :-P
