espmass Posted February 16, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Just back from our cruise. Been to St Thomas and Magens Bay many times so this trip we decided to try Emerald Beach on Lindfbergh Bay. Spent some time talking to a local there who runs a Jet Ski rental place. He told us that a few young guys are working hard to get a business going at the far end of the beach renting chairs and umbrellas. He said they are very hard working and enterprising young men and realize that their key to income is through the tourist trade and he hopes tourists will seek them out. Unfortunately, he told us this after we had already rented chairs from the first vendor we found. The taxis drop you off right at the Emerald Resort so most people don't bother to venture further. If interested, ask the taxi to drop you off further down the beach as these guys are at the far end to the right if facing the water. Either way, it's a beautiful beach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms411 Posted February 16, 2019 #2 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Several people have set up similar businesses along that beach but because they aren't on the hotel property they get very little exposure. I noticed them when I was coming from the airport. You can see them through a break in the trees along Airport Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweedy Posted February 21, 2019 #4 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Thanks for that tip. We will be in St Thomas in April and planned to venture there for the day. As I’m travelling with my mom, she does prefer a chair and umbrella. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
