Taxi to/from Magen's Bay?

[Momof2kids]

We'll be in St. Thomas in a couple weeks on NCL's Dawn. I'd like to take our two young kids (4 and 2) to Magen's Bay for 2-3 hours. I've read here that the taxi fare is $8 pp from the pier to Magen's Bay.

 

Is there plenty of availability of taxis picking up at Magen's Bay? I've read that it's a popular beach, so would assume so, but want to make sure that we won't get stuck at the beach if the kids start to get cranky.

 

Thanks!

Yes, there is a taxi stand area at Magens Bay so they are readily available when you are ready to leave.

Mom of 2 - Hold onto your kids tight on your taxi ride. They are open taxis and we had a blast on the ride to Magens Bay but there was a grown man on this ride with us that screamed like a little girl(my 5 yr old thought he was hilarious). There were a few spots on the winding,narrow roads that made my heart beat a little faster than normal!

Have fun!

How long does it take to get to Magen's Bay from the Pier?????

Havensight to Magens Bay - about 15 minutes.

 

Crown Bay to Magens Bay - about 25 minutes.

 

(time is in low-medium traffic; lunch time and afternoon traffic downtown & around Havensight will make the time longer).
