We always stay at Oyster Bay so there is always a mandatory stop for groceries upon arrival so that we have our Caribs and limes to get us started along with some breakfast foods. Hit the pool and listen to the waves. I have never actually gone to the beach on my arrival day. Always seems to late in the day after the airport and checking in at the resort. Really hope to be there in August, but our numbers in the states don't look to promising.
