We would like to go to St.John. Is this a good idea? We are thinking of St.John on our own. Has anyone done secret sands??

 

thx

We've been to both. St. John's has great beaches, but, it takes about a 45 minute ferry ride from St. Thomas to get there. Depending which ship you're on you may have to take a taxi to the ferry dock. Depending on how long your ship will be in port, assuming St. Thomas, transportation to and from St. John  may make this a not so fun trip. We love the Secret Sands Getaway. Great beach, very nice/clean bath house/restroom and great for snorkeling. We were there two years ago and a very nice fellow (Kareem) greeted us when we got off the open air bus. He had lounge chairs set up in the shade/sun for us, beer, wine, rum punch, snacks and snorkeling gear. All he asked for was a tip when we left. He was also very willing to take photos of us with our camera/smart phone. I recommend this excursion. :27_sunglasses:

Would go back to Secret Sands Beach in a heartbeat!  RJAC description of Secret Sands was spot-on. One thing I could add is that when we were there we were the only people on the beach. Very quiet and serene. Kareem was the absolute best!  Tips were greatly appreciated and well deserved.  Please don't miss the opportunity to go.
