wendell62 Posted February 25, 2007 #1 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I am stopping at St. Thomas on my cruise. I want to visit a nice white sandy beach for the day. Do I visit the beach in St. Thomas or is it worth it to take the trip to St.Johns? Which beach do you recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom Taxi Posted February 25, 2007 #2 Share Posted February 25, 2007 We are in Sto Thomas for the day as well(8am-4pm) By the time we get off the ship do you recommend going to St John or staying put? I do want to get some shopping in then go to the best beach allowing for relaxation time. Any answers would be much appreciated. This was the same question I had...

I do want to get some shopping in then go to the best beach allowing for relaxation time. Any answers would be much appreciated. This was the same question I had... I recommend that you stay on St. Thomas. Round-trip travel time alone to St. John (including getting to a beach) would be about 2 hours. That's a big chunk of your short day, especially as you want to have some shopping time. At most, you'll have 6 hours on the island (maybe a bit more if you get off the ship asap). I doubt you want to spend 1/3 of your time just getting to another island. St. John is beautiful, but there are also some wonderful beaches on St. Thomas. DH and I only went to beaches on St. John, so I can't give you first-hand recommendations. If you do an advanced search (not simple search) on this forum only for "st thomas beach" as well as the names of specific beaches, you should get a ton of threads because the question of "which are good beaches on St. Thomas" comes up constantly (as you can imagine). Search back only about 1 month to start and go back further if necessary. Most threads will give you detailed information about the specific beach (or more than one), as well as first-hand reviews. beachchick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
