Yesterday was Sunday, only one ship in, but I suspect there were a lot of locals there, plus it's getting toward high season, so that's probably why it was pretty crowded. I don't find Mullet on the beach itself to get that many cruise ship folks, but the many excursion boats on big ship days can make it pretty crowded in the water. On a dead flat calm day, when there is no 'cliff' getting into the water, Mullet is just about perfect to me, regardless of how crowded!
