Beach Recommendation In St. Thomas

[Jobro2]

We're cruising on our 2nd Magic trip this June and am trying to decide where to go while in St. Thomas. On our first trip, we went to Coki Beach, which we all really enjoyed. Our kids loved the snorkeling and all the fish. This June, I wanted to try a different beach and was leaning towards Megan's Bay, since I have heard so much about it's beauty and being rated one of the 10 most beautiful beaches in the world...I have heard from previous posts though, that the snorkeling is not as good...my kids will be 11 and 13 when we cruise and we are looking for a nice family beach, that provides good snorkeling, chairs, float and snorkeling rentals.....(bathrooms and snacks are a plus too!) also...I don't want to spend too much time traveling to it...need some expert recommendations!! Now I'm thinking maybe we should go back to Coki, as we might be disappointed with another, but really wanted a chance to see something different this time! Help!!

WE have gone to Sapphire Beach Club twice before....once on the DCL excursion and once on our own via taxi. It was about 20 minute trip from the ship and is a beautiful beach. It even has a pool that you can use. I do not know about snorkeling, though, because we just enjoyed swimming and sunning.

This trip we are going to try Megans Bay or Coki.

We enjoyed Megan's Bay on our last trip. It was so easy and reasonable to get to. The admision was very inexpensive. Had a nice little gift shop, a bar and a food stand. There were chair and float rentals.

The beach was very pretty and we had a very enjoyabe day there. However, I don't remember it being a big scuba site.

Hope that helps you some!
