Hiking at Mangan's Bay

[Momto2PrncChrmgs]

Has anyone taken a cab to Mangan's Bay and hiked?  THe excursion on our cruise next week is booked.

Is the hike safe and well-marked (don't want to get lost in the woods)! 🙂

Magens is a popular destination for cruisers and many go on their own. There are signs near the ground directing you to the trail, but I think it's across the street from Shed 3. I tried to remember to pay attention the last time I was there.

 

The trail goes straight up a hill so some people find it challenging. Need good sandals not flip flops. Trail is rocky.

This has piqued my interest as we are looking for something to do in St. Thomas when we are there in early January. I didn't realize this existed but we love this type of activity. Does anyone have recommendations for transportation to/from the trailhead from the ship? Or, any other general tips?

The trail starts across the street from the beach. Look across the street from Shed #3.

 

Any taxi can take you to Magens Bay Beach for approximately $10 per person each way. There's a fee to enter the beach which goes to showers and maintenance since it's not supported by a hotel.

 

Taxis always waiting to take you back to ship. Very easy to do on your own.
