Paradise Beach and Chankanaab

[TooPure4u]

I really want to visit Paradise Beach but am scheduled for a 3pm Dolphin Swim Adventure at Chankanaab. Does anyone have a clue what the time difference by taxi is between the two?? I would like to go to Paradise Beach in the morning until 2 or so and then go over to Chankanaab to play with the dolphins. Also...if I go to paradise beach, aside from taxi fare...what is the cost of beach admission? Is the taxi 12$ per person? There are 3 of us.

Would appreciate anyone's help.....

We went from the Boat right to Paradise Beach. I have to say, we spent the entire day there since it was so wonderful. The cab ride took about 15-20 minutes and cost 15.00 for four of us. There was no admission to the beach at that time. They just liked it if you bought a drink or food. The snorkel gear is free, they set up your chairs and umbrellas and wait on you hand and foot. It was a great place and I would highly recommend it...

I'd say the distance between the two is about 5 minutes, since Paradise Beach is slightly farther out. I really don't think you'll have a problem, though leaving Paradise Beach is a hard thing to do!! There is no fee to use the beach chairs and umbrellas, though they do expect you to order lunch. There is a $5 per person fee to use the water toys, floats, snorkle equipment, etc.
