I suspect that you wanted to post this on the St. Thomas board.

Sorry...thanks for the correction. I am tring to get our excursions booked so I keep looking over the islands we will be visiting and posted on the wrong one:rolleyes: I did book our tour today, now I need to decide between Coki & Sapphire. So I am still waiting for someone who has recently visited & knows if Sapphire is up and going again...

Hello presjade,

 

I had checked a couple weeks ago and the restaurant/bar were still closed. The store and watersports booth were always open and still are. The little store sells snacks, frozen pizzas (they have a microwave), beers, sodas, fruit drinks, water, sometimes deli sandwiches.

Thank You for the info...Have you visited either of these beaches before...if so which do you suggest. I had been concerned thinking there would not be any snacks or drinks at all so thanks again:)

Hello Presjade,

 

I have been to both those beaches. What are you looking for at the beach... snorkeling, chairs, not many people, jet skis, watersports??

our friends snorkle...I however want someplace beautiful with not a ton of people that I can just hang out & relax maybe get a bit of a tan along with a yummy fruity drink. Which one of the two are closer to restaurants, shopping, site seeing etc. We will only be at the beach for a couple of hours.

Hello presjade,

 

Is Secret Harbor an option? They would cover the snorkeling, not to many people, bar for drinks, there is a restaurant on the beach.

 

Sapphire and Coki are pretty close to each other. The closest shopping/restaurant area would be Red Hook. Sapphire is about 1 minute from Red Hook and Coki about 6 minutes away. Since Sapphire's bar isn't open then no luck on the fruity drink, Coki does have drink/food booths so you can get one there. Both have snorkeling. Coki is likely to have more of a crowd than Sapphire because its a smaller beach so less space to spread out.
