LittleYiaYia Posted December 11, 2017 #2 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Pae, did you take a taxi from the pier to Sapphire Beach? If so how much did it cost per person? How much were the chairs? Is food served at the beach bar? Thanks for your report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were there umbrellas to rent besides the chairs? Since most of the shade trees are gone, we will definitely need some type of shade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beautifulbill Posted December 14, 2017 #6 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Sapphire is not a very hospitable beach for umbrellas. There is always a nice trade wind to keep you comfortable but it can be to strong at times for any umbrellas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xvi Posted December 14, 2017 #7 Share Posted December 14, 2017 We took taxi from pier to Coki beach and it was 9 dollars per person each way, and it stopped at Sapphire along the way. Sapphire looked very pretty. Coki was amazing, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is food served at the beach bar?c Thanks for your report. Hi LittleYiaYia, Not Pae, but we were there last week. They've done a good job of cleaning up hurricane debris and the beach area looked better than I had anticipated. Water was nice and views were beautiful. Taxi for us was $10pp one way from Havensight cruise port. Chairs were $9 ea. Get there early and some shade trees are available. You'll likely be sharing the shade with some friendly iguanas, lol. Limited menu (burgers, dogs, grilled cheese...) at the grill. Bar has resumed serving frozen drinks. Snorkel and fins rental was $5/hr if interested. It was a good day. Have fun!

LovetheSea Posted December 20, 2017 #11 Share Posted December 20, 2017 We are going to be in St Tomas at the end of January. Sapphire Beach is one of our favorite beaches in the Caribbean. So happy to hear we can go back. The Iguanas will chase you and mooch for food at the restaurant. I don't know if they have ever bitten anyone. Never happened to me. They can be a bit intimidating at times.But never so much I didn't want to go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
