Which beach in St Thomas

[blue_water]

They are in 2 different directions so you'd need to have a driver take you to Drake's after the beach or take one of the tours that includes a stop at Sapphire or Coki. Or you may find a driver that will hit Drake's before Sapphire too.

Does anyone know if there is wifi available at any of the beach bars?

Thank you for all the help everyone.

 

Now that our group has decided what we are doing in St Thomas, there are 7 of us going to Magen's bay. Will we all be able to go together in a taxi or will we need two?

 

Saw the question about Drakes's seat, would it be possible to have taxi stop on way to Magen's bay- are they in the same direction.

 

Thanks again for all the help. I love these boards!

I also have the question about Megan's Bay. There are 6 of us on the Epic. What is the cost R/T to there?

[blue_water]

You will be in a safari taxi with 18 - 19 others, $8pp for 2 or more.

[Mkripke]

$8/pp each way, correct?

[sallyb]

We did this several times. Our drivers did stop for scenic overlooks. Your mileage may vary.

[blue_water]

$8/pp each way, correct?

 

Yes that's right, sorry, 8$pp each way. You can also get a price for a stop at Drake's.

Does anyone know if cabs charge for children or not? Full-price/reduced price/free?

The taxis that go to Magens Bay are open air safari-style taxi trucks which hold about 20 people each. There are designated cabs to go to each beach; when you get off the ship, go to the taxi stand and tell the dispatcher where you are all going; he will direct you to one of the cabs going specifically to Magens Bay. Oh, and it cost $4.00 per person entrance fee there as well.

The driver may give you a break Russ, but there are no reduced fares for kids. These taxis hold 25 ppl and they will want to fill all seats. You'll see that it's very organized at the dock, these guys do this every day.

Little ones can easily sit on our laps (and will likely want to). 2 of them are only 4 years old. Other older girls will want their own seats.

The driver will probably give you a break - have a great day!

Thanks for all the help everyone!

 

Sounds like Saphire is the beach for us. Will take the taxi.

Are there umbrellas to rent on Sapphire beach?

[blue_water]

No because there is plenty of shade there.

Blue Water: What are the options for a rest room on Sapphire Beach, other than the sea, now that the resort has closed? :confused: We are considering a ship's tour next week to Sapphire that supposedly provides a chair and a drink. Sometimes, though, a rest room can be very important.

[Ms411]

There are no bathroom options at the beach unless the ship tour rents a.porta potty. Or maybe they've worked out a deal with the owner for use of the bathrooms for their tours.
