Hi all! I'm looking for input on what to do at Tortola and St Thomas with a 5 & 3 year old. I have done several searches & realize we will not be eligible for most excursions due to our kids' young ages, but would still be interested in exploring & finding nice beaches/family activities if it's practical to do so. I've read reviews of the Kon Tiki Beach Cruise and the reviews aren't all that encouraging, but something of that nature might be nice. I'd prefer not to put my kids in an island taxi with no seat belts (I read prior threads all about this last night).
My specific questions are:
1) any recommendations for easily accessible kid-friendly beaches?
2) anything worth exploring in the port areas (walking distance)?
3) any easily accessible resort hotels with pool and beach access that have day passes available?
4) is it best to just hang out on the ship (Fantasy) & enjoy the pools with fewer crowds & save exploration for when the kids get older?
Thanks all! Any advice is appreciated!

Once we got to the beach we rented life jackets, noodles and a floating mat from one of the rental places, maybe $20 for all total? The kids "surfed" and played in the sand a lot and when we went to one of the restaurants right on the beach and ate. It was a little wavy so we didn't let him go in at all without an adult next to them. Here are a few photos so you can get a little idea of what the water and beach was like.
