Chicki,

I don't know if you can bring a cooler or not, but if it helps at all, I do know I wouldn't be comfortable doing so myself, and I bring a small cooler to Mullett often, as well as some of the other beaches. To me, it would be like bringing your own beverages to a restaurant....... but I guess it might be done. Perhaps they would then charge you for the beach set-ups but that's a guess on my part.

And Terry,

I think, once you can convince Rit the drive is just another 'island experience' - this usually works with John - you will absolutely love the spot in its entirety. The restrooms are lovely and clean; the service staff is totally pleasant and accommodating; the breeze is gentle - and much as I enjoy Dreams for it's convenience and good food - this place gets an extra nod from me because the water has always been easily accessible there - no stones or pebbles, no step-downs or shelves, and you can float on a raft all day on the gentle waters. Dreams is a great full service beach spot but IN MY OPINION, as nice as it is, it's just not always a great swimming beach. But we do enjoy it for long lunches and great dinners.... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
