Beaches

[pandabebe]

Can any one recommend a beach that's relatively near the pier (no more then a 30 min taxi ride). I've been to Meghan's Bay but I'm looking for a beach that offers more coral and ocean life. Any suggestions as to which beach I should visit would be greatly appreciated! Thanks. :p

Coki Beach is about a 20 minute cab ride and has pretty good snorkeling. Coral World next door is also quite interesting. The other choice for snorkeling on St. Thomas is Sapphire Beach - I've never snorkeled there but have seen the beach and it is quite pretty.

Thanks for the info. Someone mentioned Trunk Bay. Would you know long it takes to get there?

Trunk Bay is on St. John's, so it's a boat ride, then a cab ride to get to. Much longer ride both ways than 30 minutes.
