1st time on island

We have booked a tour w/Godfrey and will be going to the beach. Which beach is the best for snorkeling? Would we need to bring our own snorkeling gear?

My vote would be for Coki Beach. You can rent equipment there or bring your own. Be very certain to bring the sunscreen!

We just returned from a tour with Godfrey and was one of the best tours of our cruise!! He suggested Sapphire Beach over Coki Beach for the cleanliness and snorkeling and boy was he right!! It was truly awesome...very picturesque, lots of sun and shade if you prefer and good snorkeling. It has clean restrooms an outdoor bar and they offer beach chairs/snorkeling equipment for a fee...$5 for a chair, $8 for snorkeling equip for 2 hours. There is a pennisula at the end of the beach that is a MUST VISIT...got some of the best pictures here!

Are there lockers, dressing room, and showers at Sapphire Beach?

At Sapphire Beach there are restrooms for changing but I didn't see any lockers. There are only outdoor showers for rinsing off.

I didn't get to Sapphire but Coki is a great snorkel spot. We did the SNUBA thing which was fantastic. The beach is not huge and can get crowded but they do have lockers in Coral World as well as shops, bars, and food /drink street vendors. I believe you can rent chairs, gear as well. There were also showers in Coral World. If you have kids along I would vote for Coki.:)
