Mahogany Bay Beach 
(Carnival)
About two miles east of Coxen Hole lies Mahogany Bay, a purpose-built cruise resort (Carnival ships dock here). A chair-lift whisks you from the cruise terminal area to nearby Mahogany Bay Beach (or you can walk in about 10 minutes). The beach makes a great place to chill out for the day. If you want to venture further, access to public transport requires a walk out of the resort area up to the top of the hill to reach the impromptu taxi rank.
