Crown Bay Pier Activities..

What is there really to do on your own around Crown Bay?

 

I've docked in Havensight before and was able to basically walk to ANYTHING I wanted to. Should I try to get a taxi over to that side if I wanted to do some shopping, eating, etc.?

 

Note: I've toured all over this Island and this time in I was just really wanting to get a little shopping in…..just not familiar with the Crown Bay pier area.

There are some shops at Crown Bay - some the same as in the downtown core - but the downtown offers more if you want to shop. There is a shuttle that takes you there at a nominal cost or you can take a cab.

 

If you have seen enough of St. Thomas - and depending upon what you want to shop for (unique?) why not take the ferry to Saint John. Very pretty - cute shops (totally different than St. Thomas). You can either diy or most ships offer a ferry transfer. When I priced it last year, the ship's ferry was only $1 more than if I diy so, for the first time in years, I did a ship's excursion (well, transfer).

Crown Bay has some shops. If you want the full-tilt shopping experience, take a cab to town. More options for types of shops (not just jewelry, although there is a lot of competition for jewelry sales!) as well as bars/restaurants.

Most if the crown bay stores matched downtown prices. There are only so many jewelry shops you can go into! For cosmetics, you need to go downtown. There was a liquor store but it's selection was not as extensive as downtown. Lots of handicrafts and the ubiquitous del sol.
