Headed down in 2 weeks with the college aged nephews, staying on the cliffs, but want to send the boys to the beach for the day.
Been over a decade since I hung out on beach side; used to stay at NBC and tree house and hang out at Mark's Hurricane Bar and De Buss (both long gone).
Where on the beach do the cool kids hang out these days?
I think they would like Margaritaville. Free to hang out, wifi, loungers & umbrellas. Lots of action. Food & drinks are expensive. Bourbon Beach since it's been revamped. Alfred's was a cool spot because of the volley ball net. Folks play VB each time I hung out there.
Although it's not free, Cosmos is an option.
You could try Bourbon or Sun Beach.
Tony's Hut
I agree with Tony's Hut! Our "kids" (18 and 19) loved it there this past April. Milton was the bartender, and he was a lot of fun! There's all kinds of different board games to play there - connect 4, shut the box, checkers, etc., which we all had a good time playing.
I gotta ask ...
Is it "just me " or are there others who wonder ...
why do people go on vacation ...
& worry ..if they are going to have wifi or not ...
seriously, I go away to be disconnected
No phone /internet/TV ..It's called a vaction for a REASON
To relax & free your mind,body & soul
They also have bocce ball & horseshoes :cool: It was nice to see Milton again, haven't seen him since his Irie Vibes/Beach House Villas & Point Village days ~~Quote:

Being a small business that shuts it's doors for vacation and with clients that may require continuous service, I simply can't totally disconnect. For us WIFi is an absolute must. Others may just be hooked on it for reasons I can't relate with. I only wish I wouldn't need to log into the server to check emails that require remote service. Just not the case here. :(Quote:

I agree. Perhaps they could use Margaritaville as a home base, they could rent a locker there, but walking the beach and stopping at the small places should be lots of fun for any age.Quote:

i think at that age i would think marg-ville will ahve the most things to do...a quick walk next door will find the beers 300 vs the 800 or so at mville....if they like to drink, flipadelphia has a list of the bars on the beach with a highlight of each in one of these threads.....just do a search...
thursday night is ladies night at the jungle....the closest thing to a nightclub that they might be used to......also live entertainment several nighta a week at bourbon beach (next to old debuss) and alfreds and roots bamboo...
For a younger night time crowd try Rooftop or American Pie. I suggest bringing a local friend the first time.
As an alternative to Margaritaville, I would check out Boardwalk Village. Less hassle than M-ville, but they have a DJ, a water trampoline, decent food/drink and a few shops to check out.
However, much like Margaritaville, I would probably get bored of Boardwalk Village after one day. That's when I think a beach bar crawl would be in order.
As an aside, I hung out at Cosmo's for the first time last week. Nice, big beach, but I was surprised that they charge $400J for admission and $150J for beach chairs. I would have thought that admission would be free for restaurant guests. Anyway, it's a great place to start a beach bar crawl as you can just head south and hit every bar on Long Bay. My wife and I did just that, but stopped at Kuyaba when I had to cross the street and hit the ABM at Time Square. On the other hand, you may not want to pay the entry fee at Cosmo's if your intent is just to grab a beer and start walking down the beach.
Sun beach bar is a great place to hang out and one that nobody has mentioned is Roots Bamboo, you can get a drink and have a chair there too. Just stroll along and find a spot. Depending upon where you are staying, they will have a place to suggest to you.
I base myself out of Margaritaville everyday..it divides the beach from Coral Seas Beach property to Hedo in half & that's my beach walk..different direction each day...sometimes I'll do it all. I like that Margville has a different change of people everyday since it's not a resort..great people watching..I've got 44 days to walk that beach & see mi friends so why not. I never buy food or drink there...I BYO
