Lindquist Beach

Agreed, Lindquist Beach in Smith Bay. I believe there are restrooms there but no other amenities (or at least minimal).

 

Sapphire Beach is a short drive/taxi if you want to do both beaches, Sapphire offers rentals and some food and drink options and is generally less busy than the other well-known beaches. Good snorkeling spot and nice island views.

I would add Hull Bay and John Brewer's Beach.

Our last trip, we rented 2 loungers and 2 sets of snorkel gear for about $35 total (all day rate). Plenty of natural cover from the trees. Servers started making the rounds for drink and food orders by about 11AM. Easy taxi over for $10/person each way.

 

Based on advise here, we headed straight over in the AM after docking, and the place was largely empty. We had our pick of spots. Even in the afternoon it never really got too crowded, even with 7 ships in port! We will likely do the same in Feb, especially if the port is crowded again.

 

Here is a photo from shortly after we arrived. There may have been 10 other people on the whole beach.
