Which St. Thomas Beach

[lolomarie]

Magens Bay, Saphire Beach, or Secret Sands Beach (formally Lindquists Bay).

We’re a family of 6, me, DH, DS7, DS4, DS7 months, DS7 months. Due to the babies’ ages we can’t do a more adventurous excursion. I like a pretty beach with a toilet! We don’t need much extras. Would like to avoid huge crowds.
Thanks for your input.

We've never been but we chose Saffire beach for our Feb 26 Fantasy trip. 4 adults, no kids, and it has amenities, restaurant, etc.

Will you report back on how it is? Hope you have a fabulous time.

There are some good videos on Youtube... look for a channel called Flash of Green, they do beach walks on Saffire ever few days.

We stayed in at Thomas for a week. Right off sapphire beach. While nice and with some amenities, the pure breathtaking beauty of Meghan’s bay is a must do if you’ve never been.

Magen’s is a very wide bay with calm water. Lots of space for you to spread out and social distance - to the left as you face the water. There are picnic tables and shade (of course sun). Bathhouses available. Concessions.

Lindquist Beach is my favorite beach. Bathhouse, shade, nice sand. Beautiful water and views of other Virgin Islands. No concessions. I saw a stack of loungers on the beach in December.

Sapphire Beach is attached to a hotel. All beaches are public, I think. No problem accessing beach. When we were there, People were under the few trees near the hotel. Beautiful sapphire-colored water and good snorkeling area in the reef. Lovely views of other islands. I don’t know about public restroom facilities.

If you don’t like windy mountain roads, skip Magen’s -it’s also the farthest from the ship.

Magen’s and Lindquist are public beaches.

All three are great choices.
