Top 10 Family-Friendly Things To Do At Royal Beach Club Paradise Island

If you’re cruising to The Bahamas, Royal Beach Club Paradise Island should be on your radar. Starting December 2025, this new Royal Caribbean shore excursion blends Bahamian beauty with beach-day bliss — offering a completely curated, exclusive experience for families, couples and friend groups.

Your Unlimited Open Bar & Dining day pass includes everything you need for a seamless escape:

● Round-trip water transportation from the cruise terminal.

● Access to pristine beaches and stunning pools.

● Unlimited food and drinks, including mocktails, cocktails and kid-friendly options.

● Live music, games and family beach activities for every generation.

It’s exclusive to Royal Caribbean guests and Nassau residents. And the best part? Royal Beach Club Paradise Island is already available to book online before your trip, subject to availability.

What’s the Difference Between Royal Beach Club Paradise Island and Perfect Day at CocoCay?

Both are exclusive destination experiences you can book through Royal Caribbean, but they have a few key differences:

● Perfect Day at CocoCay is a private island in The Bahamas, while Royal Beach Club Paradise Island is a premium shore excursion located in Nassau.

● Perfect Day at CocoCay is built around thrill-seeking attractions, with options like a water park and zip line. Royal Beach Club Paradise Island offers a more intimate, resort-style beach experience with smaller crowds, upscale amenities and a laid-back island vibe.

How Much Is the Royal Beach Club Paradise Island Day Pass?

Guests must purchase a day pass to enter. Prices vary by sailing and booking date.

Pro tip: You can also bundle day passes with cruise drink packages for added savings. Better yet, upgrade to VIP experiences like daybeds, private cabanas or the Ultimate Family Cabana — all of which include multiple passes.

1. Enjoy A Ride On Water Transportation

Your ultimate beach day begins with a boat ride — and yes, it’s included. A Royal Beach Club Paradise Island day pass comes with round-trip water transportation service from the Nassau cruise terminal. The ride is short, scenic and scheduled to run continuously throughout the day, making it easy to come and go as you please.

For kids, it’s an open-air adventure before the sandcastles and splash zones. For grown-ups, it’s a stress-free transfer with beautiful views and salty sea air. Either way, you’re headed straight to one of the best Caribbean islands for memorable vacations.

2. Take Your Pick Of Two Pristine Beaches

Craving quiet time or family fun? Royal Beach Club Paradise Island delivers both. The beach club is home to two distinct shores: Chill Beach and Family Beach, each offering its own slice of paradise:

● Chill Beach: Ideal for parents, couples and anyone who wants to do absolutely nothing. Stretch out under an umbrella, sink into a shaded lounger and take in the view — this is the quiet side of Paradise Island.

● Family Beach: Built for bonding with and plenty of play space, this is where cornhole tournaments, splash battles and sandy laughs come naturally.

Every beach day here includes the comforts that matter most:

● Complimentary loungers and umbrellas.

● Onsite towel service and freshwater showers.

● Endless snacks, drinks and sunshine — all included in your day pass.

No need to pick just one vibe. With your pass, you’re free to bounce between both beaches and enjoy the best of both worlds.

3. Have A Fun Family Competition

Nothing brings out the giggles (or the bragging rights) like a little friendly competition. At Royal Beach Club Paradise Island, beach games are the perfect way to turn downtime into memory-making moments for the whole family.

You’ll find family beach activities set up on the sand near Family Beach, with options for all ages and skill levels. Play for pride, for laughs or just to work up an appetite. 

Some of the highlights include:

● Cornhole: Classic and competitive, whether you’re tossing with friends or family.

● Jumbo Jenga: Bigger blocks, bigger drama — and bigger laughs when it all comes crashing down.

● Tug of war & paddle ball: Team up with your crew or challenge new friends nearby.

And when it’s time to cool off, the beach is only a few sandy steps away. 

4. Chill Out In The Shallow End

Need a break from the waves? Head to The Shallow End — a temperature-controlled pool tucked along Family Beach that’s made for lounging, splashing and soaking up the view.

This zero-entry pool is great for little ones still mastering their dog paddle, and just as perfect for grown-ups who prefer their relaxation on the mellow side. Music plays softly in the background, loungers line the edges and a nearby bar keeps the refreshments coming.

5. Taste Caribbean Cuisine At Paradise Grill

Food at Royal Beach Club Paradise Island doesn’t come with a bill, but it does come with bold flavors, fast service and a hint of citrus. With three Paradise Grill locations across the beach club, it’s easy to grab a bite without missing a moment of sunshine.

The menus are inspired by Bahamian fare, with something for every type of eater, even the picky ones. Some of the fan favorites include:

● Pinwheel Shrimp Skewers brushed with guava glaze.

● Crunchy Fish Sandwich with island slaw on brioche.

● Paradise Signature Cheeseburgers stacked high.

● Banana Bundt Cake with salted toffee drizzle.

There are vegetarian and gluten-free options available too — just ask at the counter. With casual, walk-up service and shaded seating nearby, refueling is fast, easy and flavorful.

6. Reserve Your Cabana Or Book A Vip Experience

Want to level up your family beach day? Reserve a private space for your crew — or go all out with a multi-level VIP upgrade. Whether you're after a shady spot to lounge or a cabana with its own waterslide, Royal Beach Club Paradise Island has options to suit your vibe.

Here’s what your family can book:

● Day Bed: Cozy and shaded with dedicated umbrellas, towels and tables.

● Beach or Pool Cabanas: Private space for up to 10 guests, with food and drink service for added convenience.

● Ultimate Family Cabana: Two stories of over-the-top fun — featuring a slide, whirlpool, private bathroom, frozen drink machine and a personal Island Genie at your service.

All VIP experiences come with a set number of included day passes, so you can bundle and save while keeping your beach day as exclusive or inclusive as you want.

7. Stay Connected With Wi-fi Access

We all know sometimes kids can’t go without their favorite cartoon. Fortunately, Royal Caribbean offers complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi across the property.

It’s included with your day pass, and it makes the entire experience that much easier for modern families. No roaming charges. No need to disconnect (unless you want to).

Plus, it works for everyone:

● Teens can stay connected with friends back home.

● Parents can check messages from work or family, if needed.

● Little ones can wind down with a quick episode or two.

And when you're ready to unplug, paradise is always just a glance away. Private lockers make it easy to stash your devices and soak up the moment with your crew, distraction-free.

8. Enjoy Live Music At The Pool

At this private destination, the soundtrack to your beach day is as vibrant as the view. Each pool zone features live entertainment — from chill acoustic sets to DJ-spun island beats — creating the perfect backdrop for swimming, dancing or soaking it all in. 

The vibe shifts depending on where you are:

● The Shallow End keeps it light and playful for families.

● The Deep End offers more space to stretch out and unwind.

● The Floating Flamingo amps up the energy with dance-ready tracks for adult kids.

9. Sip And Savor Fun Drinks

No beach day is complete without something cool in hand — and at Royal Beach Club Paradise Island, you’ve got options. Ten bars are spread across the property, serving drinks for all ages.

Parents can enjoy a handcrafted cocktail or local beer, while younger guests sip on unlimited juices, sodas and fruity mocktails — no extra charge. Whether you’re toasting to a family win at cornhole or cooling off after a poolside splash, you’ll find something for everyone.
