I went to Paradise Beach in April and it was fabulous! We paid $32 US for food for 3 of us and there was so much food (hamburger and fries, nachos, chicken wrap, more fries and 3 Cokes). I think you have to pay $5 to cover the beach toys. The taxi ride from the pier is 10-15 minutes and costs $12 one way for up to 4 people. I really recommend this beach!
