Deciding between two beaches, Coki/Saphire...

[popatop15]

We are going to be in St. Thomas on 4/4/17 from the Harmony of the Seas. We have been on Coki before and loved it but are trying to decide between going back there or seeing another beach like Sapphire. We are traveling with four first time visitors and we know they will love Coki, but is there anyone who can give a comparison between the two beaches? Thanks in advance for any information..Tony n Jenn

We love them both but prefer Sapphire for the quieter vibe, beautiful island views, no vendors, natural shade, and a much less crowded beach because there's room to spread out.

Thank you blue water,,Can you rent chairs there or just spread out a towel?

Yes you can rent chairs and there is a grill serving food and drinks

I agree. I would chose Sapphire. The views are amazing and the water is beautiful. Plus, Coki is smaller and can get crowded.

Thanks 2Pina, I believe we are leaning toward Sapphire since we have already been to Coki...

I love Sapphire. However, it is more difficult getting in and out of the water as there is an immediate drop off as you enter the water. No difficulty at Coki.

We've never experienced that at Sapphire, just wondering if there had been some temporary erosion at the time?
