This is my post from another thread about Megans Bay....
There are other nice beaches than Megans Bay on St. Thomas....yes MB is beautiful but we found it a hassle and costly. First the taxi ride cost, then admission to the beach, then renting chairs (which by the way you must leave an additional deposit up the office which is in an area a bit away from beach). Then you have to lug you own chairs down the beach and then bring them back when you are done....then go back up to the office to get your deposit back....way too much work for my vacation time!!! Plus, as hubby and I were strolling the beach we saw many shady looking people eyeing the belongings of others.
We have done Sapphire Beach Club a few times on our own (
DCL also does a beach day here, or at least they used to) and it is a 20 minute cab ride (standard, non negotiable $9 per person), no admission cost to the beach...loungers are $5.00 each and someone sets them up for you. Beach is beautiful with clean bathrooms, snack bar, gift shop, restaurant, full service bar, plenty of taxis to take you back to the ship etc.
Plus, they have iguanas running around that we love to look at!!!
Here are some pics....

From pic #DSC00841 thru DSC0085- (on page 4) are all of Sapphire Beach. Plus a bit down the beach at Sapphire BC is a built in pool that you can use.
