The Turtle Town, secluded at the northern end
of the property, is the perfect setting for children ages 3 to 12 years
to begin exploring our island home. It becomes even more exciting as we
identify new plants and animals. We'll be telling our own pirate tales,
making treasure maps and dancing to our great Caribbean beat. Each day
features a different theme and activities are planned with the children
at the beginning of the day. Our staff is flexible and focused on providing
a fun and educational day.
For children, vacation means being active, making friends, having great
experiences and learning new skills with our well-trained and fun-loving
staff. For parents, it's knowing your child is in safe hands with our
experienced and caring staff. Creative arts and crafts activities will
offer children precious memories and souvenirs of their Caribbean vacation.
Peace, Quiet and Kids at Caneel Bay. Come by for a visit and you’ll
want to stay!

PEACE, QUIET & KIDS AT CANEEL BAY
Kids and families are welcomed and cherished at Caneel Bay. And, at
the same time, so are peace, quiet and relaxation. Caneel Bay is blessed
with seven, gentle, white sand beaches and over 170 acres of parkland
for you to explore. We respectfully ask all of our guests, both young
and old alike, to maintain Scott and Paradise Beaches for those wishing
to hear only the quiet lapping of waves and the rustle of the leaves
in the sea grape trees. So, please, no children under 12 on Paradise
and Scott, Caneel's quiet beaches. You'll find there is more than enough
Caneel for everyone to enjoy!
