blue_water Posted September 24, 2012 #2 Share Posted September 24, 2012 About $8 to Magen's and $9 or 10 the East End beaches. No gouging, fares are regulated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magens Bay is beautiful. There is a $4 per person fee for this beach. Get there early and beat the crowds. There is a bar/restaurant, bathrooms, gift shop and some non-motorized rentals, loungers available for rent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_water Posted September 27, 2012 #6 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Unfortunately you won't beat the crowds because you are part of that, but if you walk a ways further you can get away from the ship crowd. Just a matter of what you are looking for - nice beaches that are busy? Magen's is #1, Lindbergh/Emerald & Coki #2. Less busy? Sapphire and SH are enjoyable.

emdia43 Posted September 27, 2012 #7 Share Posted September 27, 2012 We were advised to avoid Magen's bay because 4 or 5 ships were in port - having been there before we agreed and decided to taxi over to Emerald Beach resort, our Head Waiter recommended it and it was a great day. No charge to use their pool or facilities, a good bar and casual restaurant. WE even got to watch a wedding. Much nicer than Magen's bay and much quieter. http://www.emeraldbeach.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoPippy Posted September 30, 2012 Author #8 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I think I heard we r the only cruise ship in St.Thomas the day we dock in April.That should make the beaches really nice and not crowded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
