Be prepared for the salt water to sting your eyes. Some times it does not bother me and other times is stings like crazy for a minute or 2 then goes away. It's not harmful but if you are expecting it not to sting and it does I would hate to have that rattle you. If it stings, tough it out for a minute or 2 and it will go away.
And a comment on Trip Advisor. Take whatever you read there with a large grain of salt. Unhappy, often times unreasonable people tend to be a lot more likely to post bad comments than happy, easy going folks. And it’s not unheard of for businesses to post glowing reports about themselves. Not saying not to look at it but just don't put too much faith in the reports, both glowing and bad. This is in not way intended to be a negative comment on Conch Republic, I always heard good things about them here (which by the way I put more faith in) but rather a generic comment on Trip Advisor and similar on line rating sites.
