Things to do for a few hours with kids near the ship in Tortola?

[MarkLT1]

So we are doing a western Caribbean in April. We are not big shoppers, and didn't see any excursions for Tortola that really sang to us (or should I say, the ones that looked interesting were a bit too pricy for this trip). So any thoughts on some fun stuff to do near the ship? Are there any good beaches near by? Or even a fun museum or two? This is only our second cruise, and both my wife and I have a bit of paranoia about being a Pier runner if we were to do a non-DCL-sanctioned excursion.. not that we'd do anything to be late, but some issue coming up, unreliable guide, etc.. Perhaps those concerns are unwarranted?

I am also interested in what there might be to do within walking distance of the ship. We are doing an excursion but it will be finished by noon.

Long story, but we nearly had to do a "back-up excursion" due to a sick family member fouling up original plan.

The guy at Guest Services suggested a beach day Cane Garden Bay.

Reviews on trip advisor look lovely.
Every island we have been on has had taxis right at the port. The drivers will come back for you at a requested time.
