It's just a beach where hotels are situated; in St Thomas, the beaches are free. We just asked the cab driver to take us to Frenchman's Reef & Morning Star Marriott Beach Resort. When you get there, you walk on the beach, and the beach guys ask if you want to rent a chair or umbrella. There is food for purchase from that hotel. I can't remember if there was beach access or we just walked through hotel lobby. There's another Mariott there too down a ways in walking distance, but it didn't look like their beach was as good. We got a glimpse of it as we were leaving port. I would suggest you go on TripAdvisor bc I'm sure that's where we found the info. I also recall on YouTube, people posted videos of their entire cab ride from port including drive there and to beach. It was prob $5/chair and $10/ umbrella or something, bc we would not have paid more than that. It's easy to catch a cab ride back, the porters or bus boys at hotel front will gladly do it for you. We had our 5 yr old and 8 yr old daughters and we wouldn't have done it if it wasn't completely safe. I'll try to post some pix later. We did similar when at St Maarten (not sure of your itinerary). Have fun!
