matj2000 Posted September 13, 2011 #2 Share Posted September 13, 2011 There really is no beaches near the port or at least in walking distance if thats what you mean. All of them are going to require some sort of travel but the island is not to big so you take your pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCTribeFan Posted September 13, 2011 #4 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Have you paid a visit to the St Thomas Port-of-Call board? Lots of useful info there (as there is for all the port boards). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddha'smoo Posted September 13, 2011 #5 Share Posted September 13, 2011 morningstar beach at the merriot is probably the closest, 10 mins in a taxi, nice beach too, though not much shade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinchem Posted September 13, 2011 #7 Share Posted September 13, 2011 You should grab a cab to Megans Bay, about 15-20 minutes, my wifey really loves it there, they have a great beach and shady areas within a park like setting, bathrooms too. If you really want the best beach, my favorite, you have to grab a ferry and cab to St.Johns Island, about 45-60 minutes and go to Truck Bay, that is the essence of the caribbean to me.

I'm not the OP, but thanks for reminding us of that, I always forget to look elsewhere in the boards........'doh! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcatcruzer Posted September 13, 2011 #10 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Sapphire beach is gorgeous, great snorkling right from shore. Take a tour with Sonny Listen, he will drop you off and pick u up. Best tour we have been on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildgrits Posted September 13, 2011 #11 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Megan's Beach is my all time favorite anywhere. I loved Magen's Bay also. We rented a car right at the pier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winterstale Posted September 13, 2011 #12 Share Posted September 13, 2011 That would be TRUNK Bay on STJ, not Truck Bay - just don't want you to search for it and not find it - it's a great place. How long are you there? I'd do a day trip to Virgin Gorda and the Baths if you can.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gersus Posted September 13, 2011 #13 Share Posted September 13, 2011 We just returned from cruising and St Thomas was our first stop. We took a taxi ($10pp each way) to Sapphire beach. Loved it! !t wasn't crowded and we didn't have to rent a chair or umbrella. We just sat our stuff under a tree. The water was great, clear and calm. Saw lots of fish, sea turtles, and a small shark.
