MoBrien Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 Hi all I'm looking for recommendations for beaches when we dock at St Thomas for our upcoming cruise in 17 days time . Looking for a Beach that's isn't crowded , a beach that we can rent chairs at and a beach that we can purchase food and drinks at . I've narrowed it down to the following beaches in no particular order Magens Bay Lindquist Beach Sapphire Beach Honeymoon Bay on Water Island I've read reviews that Magens Bay can be crowded when cruise ships are in port - is this the case? Does the same apply for Sapphire Beach when cruise ships are in port Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocLC Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 I've only done Magens Bay, which was really nice. And as you've stated, it can be crowded and is worth checking the cruise ship calendar sites to see how many ships will be in port. And if memory serves, there's a fee to get into Magens Bay. I did enjoy it, though. I do remember food and a comfortable beach. I don't recall if rentals were available, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checked cruise calender and Disney Fantasy docks at Havensight that day so might give Magens Bay a miss even though the pictures of it look amazing. Your memory does serve you right, i have read that there is a small fee to get into Magens Bay which was fine by us. Need to reconsider our options so.

rjac Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Here's one we did on the Allure last year, "Secret Sands Beach Exclusive and Skyline Drive". Secret Sands/Smith Bay Beach Eco Park located on St. Thomas' east end. Great beach! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 I've been to Magens and always enjoyed it. Heard good things about Lindquist, but never been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
