genio67 said: is there any place in walking distance to Mr. Busby's to pick up wine, water, rum before we board the ferry? There is a small store close to Busby's with water and wine, and probably rum. But you should understand, that the ferry stop is on the other side of the pond from where Busby's and Dawn Beach are. The ferry stop is in the Captain Oliver's marina.

Chuck_Morton said: Give Mr. Busby's on Dawn Beach a try for lunch and you have the beach right in front of you and you're only a 5 minute ride to the ferry at Captain Olivers. Dawn Beach is generally very nice, seaweed has been an on and off problem this year, and it keeps you close to your destination. Otherwise you have a couple of choices at Captain Olivers but it does get really warm at lunch in the dock area. I agree with Mr. Busby's the staff is also very friendly.

dane said: You can also have a nice lunch at Quai Ouest if you don't want to worry about crossing Oyster Pond and getting back over. If they go to Mr. Busby's first then they only have to take a taxi over to Captain Olivers, one way. I suggested Mr. Busby's because they have children and they expressed an interest in taking a dip, you can't get much closer to the beach than Mr. Busby's...Once you get to the marina there is no place other than the pool at Captain Oivers to swim and I doubt that is open to the public.

I would definitly do Busby for lunch, have a dip and relax a bit, specialy with children, and then go to Captain Oliver's Marina to take the ferry... Just accross from Busby their is a small Mom & Pop store that sells alcohol, wine, food, snacks etc... Now, not sure about the prices (certainly very high regarding the touristy area it is in..) Otherwise you have another liquor store at Captain Oliver's Marina, just next to the Voyager ferry Office. Or third option, you have 3 superettes in Oyster pond, the closest from the Marina would be "Le Pain d'Epice" where you could buy liquor and wine.
