sheenshay Posted July 6, 2008 #1 Share Posted July 6, 2008 1st time to St.Thomas. We are trying to decide which beach to go to. We will be in port for one day. Want to see turtles and lots of fish. One beginner snorkler. Which beach has turtles and is still convenient enough to get back into town for some shopping? Thanks in Advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One beginner snorkler. Which beach has turtles and is still convenient enough to get back into town for some shopping? Thanks in Advance! Hmmm...not sure about where to sea turtles on St. Thomas. I believe you can see them on St. John. I recall seeing some posts where they'd been spotted at Cinnamon and Hawksnest beaches. But I can't guarantee that. And, you'd be pressed for time if you wanted to shop on St. Thomas, especially if you stop at your ship to drop your gear off upon your return to St. Thomas. If you want to stay on St. Thomas, there is decent snorkeling at Coki Beach, Sapphire Beach, Secret Harbor, and Cowpet Bay. Any of those beaches are doable in the morning with plenty of shopping time left in the afternoon for you -- even with a stop at the ship for dropping your gear off. :) Just snorkel in the morning, head back to your ship at around noon, drop your gear off, and then head into town.

Betsy's Mom Posted July 6, 2008 #3 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Generally turtles are in sea grass, fish are around coral. Pays your money and takes your choice.:) B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Islander Posted July 18, 2008 #4 Share Posted July 18, 2008 If turtles are the big draw you might want to consider a 1/2 day charter out to Turtle Cove/Buck Island for snorkeling. --Islander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
