Sapphire beach vs. Magens Bay

[BuckeyeMan]

Can't decide on the two. A little background.

 

Will be first time to St. Thomas. Coming in on Celebrity. Looking to rent a couple chairs, umbrella and get some drinks. Will be in port from 8:00am to 5:00pm. Quick lunch at the beach. Don't want some place totally remote. Would like it to be at least a somewhat active beach, music, etc.

 

What am I looking at for cab fee to both beaches? Time to both beaches?

 

Much appreciated for any help. I am researched on the forum here but just looking for a llittle more info.

 

Thanks in advance.

Neither of those beaches are active with music. Coki is the only beach with music.

If you want a lively vibe (and busy) Coki would be a good choice, taxi would be about 25 minutes and $10 - 11pp each way.

 

Lindbergh Bay (aka Emerald Beach) is much closer to your port (Crown Bay) than other beaches and there is a beach bar at both the Emerald beach resort and the Island Beachcomber. Just a thought if you aren't spending enough time at the beach for the longer taxi...
