We went to Brewer's in October from the Havensight pier and had an absolutely wonderful day! YES, there were lots of turtles! The water was calm and clear, not crowded at all, and there was a food truck that had really good pates for lunch. If memory serves, we just arranged the return trip with our taxi driver, telling him what time we wanted to be picked up and taken back to the ship. On the way over, the driver told us this is where he takes his family for beach days. I think I also remember seeing a BUS STOP in front of the University, which was about a quarter of a mile over a hill from the beach, so public transportation may be an option. We've been to St. Thomas a number of times on cruises, and visited Magens, Sapphire, Lindqvist, Emerald, Secret Harbor, and Morningstar, but Brewer's is now our favorite!
