st thomas beaches

[fun and breezes 2]

Can anyone suggest a great beach on St Thomas other than Maegans Bay? We don't need alot of activities, but Would like a very pretty beach. I remember a beautiful beach around a resort area but cannot remember what part of the island we were on. Also are ther any car rentals where the Crown docks?

The resort you are talking about is the Marriott. Here is another option right from Crown Bay where you will dock. ;)

Sapphire beach is another nice beach. You will have to take a taxi. Not as crowded as Meegans Bay. Another option is to take the ferry over to St. Johns and go to Eagle Bay Beach. The view there is great and it is a nice quite secluded beach.

Lindbergh beach near the airport is quite nice.

Sapphire beach is awesome, Megans Bay is awesome, we found Coki beach to be trashy and unkept. Enjoy your cruise.

Sapphire Beach is great! A very beautiful and natural setting. I could have stayed there for days.

 

It was uncrowded, the water was clear and DH and the kids saw a lot of fish with their snorkle masks.

Does the beach at the Marriot have a name?

I agree that eagle bay beach is great and it is fun to go over to St Johns and see something different, however it is a lot of mucking around getting to and from and the taxi fares, ferry and bus could make this an expensive little side trip...

 

There is a very nice little beach at the Ritz Carlton, but I think it may be private...

 

Have fun. St Thomas is beautiful!!!!:D :D :D

Marriott is located on Morningstar Beach.

 

Sapphire is great and located next to Ritz Carlton.

Great views of St. John.

We took a cab from Crown Bay, and had a great cabbie. Another couple and us both wanted to go to Sapphire. We got there, and he said he thought it would be a little rough there because of high winds (on the Atlantic side), and recommended the Caribbean side. The cab charge would be the same, even though he took us farther. We ended up at a small resort with a nice beach and restaurants, we just plopped down in some chairs for a few hours, and purchased lunch there.

He said that all the beaches attached to the resorts are public, said anybody can walk through the lobbies and enjoy the beaches. I have no reason to doubt him, I guess it's a little known fact.

I like Coki Beach. Pretty beach. A bar close by for drinks or light snacks. You also have Coral World right next door, if you want more activity.

One more for Sapphire Beach, beautiful.
