We have also stopped at Caneel Bay (twice) and to our surprise were treated like royalty..You would have thought we had arrived on the QE2..Grabbed a bite to eat, lounged on the beach, and swam to the swimming platform..Fun stop..

We always buy a beach umbrella at Costco (at home) for $12, comes in a cloth case and check it with luggage at the airport..For that price we always leave it behind..
