vamommyof3 Posted May 18, 2017 #101 Share Posted May 18, 2017 We went to Magen's Bay and sadly would not return again. It was crowded and not that great. We had to wait in line to 'rent' a chair for $7 and give a $5 deposit. Then we had to drag the chair to our area that we wanted to sit. Then we had to drag the chair back to the chair holding area to get our deposit back. :eek: Annoying. So much for a relaxing day at the beach. The bathrooms were somewhat clean though. I did not purchase any food from the concession stand but I did see the prices and they were not cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would put the chair in the location you wanted and there was no deposit. If this was recent then this makes me sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reno3 Posted September 3, 2017 #104 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Will be on Carnival Glory the first week in January and looking for a beach.... We dock at 10am and one other ship Norwegian Escape will already be there (8am). No other ships at this dock. I don't know about the other dock(s). Thinking of Coki since we have not been to this beach yet. Have been to Magan's and Sapphire. Will Coki be too crowded by this time? Also, is the "vibe" at Coki pushy as in vendors trying to sell you something constantly? Please elaborate... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about how crowded it will be, but we have been twice and it seems like it gets crowded later in the morning after noon. We didn't have any pushy vendors when we went...only the servers and they are very possessive. Once one serves you, don't let another one come along or they will have words. LOL ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrpayroll Posted September 6, 2017 #106 Share Posted September 6, 2017 We prefer Sapphire over Coki...Not as crowded and a lot more prettier beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyBerard Posted September 6, 2017 #107 Share Posted September 6, 2017 We've been to Coki, Sapphire, Megan's Bay and Emerald Beach in St. Thomas, and our favorite is Emerald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sun Lover Posted September 11, 2017 #111 Share Posted September 11, 2017 We were at Emerald Beach last February and really liked it. It's a small beach and was not crowded at all. It's very close to the port. We took a cab there for about $10. We got there early, around 10 in the morning I think. There wasn't a lot of shade, though. We kept moving our chairs to stay in the shade. We ate lunch at the Beach Bar there, which was nice. The food was decent and the drinks were delicious.

lmgnpb Posted September 12, 2017 #113 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I'm still wondering if anyone has taken a taxi between Coki and Sapphire beaches. Sent from my SM-G950U using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you were docked at Crown Bay if you were close to Lindbergh Bay? Just to clarify for others the taxi fare from there is $4pp each way.
