luv2cruise2thebeach Posted February 27, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 27, 2019 We are trying to decide which beach to head to on our September stop in St. Thomas. We are the only ship in port that day on the Carnival Fascination and will be there from 7-5. The ship only holds 2,000 passengers so I can't imagine crowds being an issue. Just need a nice soft sand beach and clear water. We aren't really looking to snorkel. Just looking to lay out on a lounger and soak up some sun. Which beach would be better for this?

Ms411 Posted February 28, 2019 #2 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Magens because it doesn't have hotel or condos on the property. Nice natural environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnorkelBoy Posted March 20, 2019 #3 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Magens as well as they have a decent grill and bar with no rocks in the water that I remember. THe beach is wider and has chairs though I think Sapphire does as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG65CB Posted March 20, 2019 #4 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Sapphire does have chairs, no umbrellas. A couple of bars, one restaurant with expensive sandwiches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beshears Posted March 23, 2019 #5 Share Posted March 23, 2019 We will be on the Carnival Fascination next week. We wanted to check out a beach as well in St. Thomas, and maybe Magens is the one we should do. Any idea the cost pp by Taxi for this? Is there a fee to use the beach? How about chairs/umbrella (we really don't have to have them), the cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseapril Posted March 24, 2019 #6 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Magens is good due to the natural atmosphere- park like place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_water Posted March 27, 2019 #7 Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) We would prefer Sapphire, just a gorgeous beach with those great island views. Home to 3 condo properties, yet very quiet. Magens is also nice, just a bit boring for us, Sapphire just has that character of a Caribbean beach to us Taxi to either is ~$10pp each way, enjoy your day!
