Which one is closest to the Crown Bay cruise port?

[Ms411]

Lindbergh Bay which is also known as Emerald Beach is closest to Crown Bay.

What is the best way to get to Sapphire Beach?  Are the taxi's like ours here in the states? Or are their frequent buses there? How do you get a taxi or bus to come back?  Are they there frequently all day and you just get on or do you need to schedule? What should I expect to pay to get there?

 

I know......lots of questions, and I really appreciate the knowledge that is here!!

Not like taxis in States. At the cruise docks mostly large converted trucks with open air bench seating in the back that can seat 15+ people and air conditioner vans. You can google for pictures.

 

Taxis at both docks will be waiting at both docks to take groups of cruisers to Sapphire and other destinations. There will be taxis at Sapphire to take you back.

 

The fares from both docks are posted the threads in this forum. It's less than $20 per person each way from either dock.

My problem is deciding which one of these great beaches to visit!!!

We are planning far in advance.

I wanted to consider Lindquist-Smiths Bay...  I am all about the beauty and clear blue/turquoise water!   We might have umbrella, but wonder if there will be any locals renting those loungers.     

Since we would be the only ship in port, and Magen's might not be overcrowded, that seems to be the 'easiest' choice.    Then there is Coki, for the fish...

First world decisions!!!

I was wrong about the dock. My ship is going to be at Havensight. Which beach is closest to it?

[Ms411]

Most people say Morningstar Beach at the Frenchman's Reef Resort is the closest, but Emerald is not too much further.

 

Morningstar isn't as welcoming to non guests as Emerald, though, but they do sell day passes online at resortforaday.com. 

 

Most people at Havensight will go to either Coki, Magens, or Sapphire, though.

We’ve been to St. Thomas several times and have spent time at Magen’s Bay, Coki, and Sapphire beach. This time, we chose to take the ferry to Water Island and spend the day at Honeymoon Beach. We absolutely loved it and would definitely do it again!
