Infinity Bay Spa and Beach Resort sits on West Bay Road with the famous beach in front, and its beach club day pass opens that setting to visitors who are not staying the night. For travelers on a port stop, or anyone who wants a reliable beach day with shade, a pool and food close at hand, it is one of the easiest ways to enjoy West Bay without negotiating chairs and prices along the sand. The resort has two outdoor pools and a children's pool, a swim-up bar, a poolside bar, a beach bar and beachfront dining, and loungers, towels and umbrellas are provided on the beach for guests. A day pass typically gives you a base from which to use those facilities, though the exact inclusions vary, so check what yours covers. The mood is lively and sociable rather than secluded, which suits groups and families.
Why it is worth doing
West Bay Beach is wonderful but busy on ship days, and the stretches of sand that belong to bars and clubs expect you to spend money anyway. A day pass bundles access, shade and a secure place to leave your things into one arrangement. You can swim in the sea in the morning, cool off in the pool, eat lunch under a palapa and return to the water in the afternoon, all in one place.
For families, a children's pool and shallow sea water make the day easier, and for adults the swim-up bar and beachfront restaurant do the rest.
What to know before you go
Day passes differ in what they include, such as chairs, towels, a food and drink credit or a full lunch, so read the details and budget for any extras. Capacity can be limited on busy days, so reserve ahead rather than arriving at the gate. Pool and beach rules, age limits and dress codes may apply, and alcohol is usually served only to adults.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a hat and a change of clothes, and use a locker if one is offered. The resort's own guests have priority on some facilities, so arrive early for the best spots. If you want to snorkel, the reef is close to shore along West Bay, but watch for boats and stay in sandy channels.
Making it work
West Bay is on the western tip, a taxi or tour-van ride across the island from both cruise terminals, so agree a return time and leave a generous buffer before all-aboard. Overnight guests staying elsewhere on the island can treat it as a splurge day, especially when the weather is hot and the public beach is crowded. Pair it with a morning boat snorkel from West End or a short visit to Gumbalimba Park, then finish with a sunset walk along the sand.
Compared with a private island day, a beach club costs less in transfers and time, though it is less remote. It suits travelers who want comfort and convenience over solitude, and it works well for mixed groups with different ideas of a perfect day. Ask the resort whether a lunch or drinks credit can be added, and check whether towels are included so you are not caught out. A late-afternoon swim, when the crowds thin and the light softens, is often the nicest part of the day.
