It's such a peaceful beach. We sat and chatted for a while while people watched. Forgot we came to get into the beach. When we were ready to leave the restaurant to get a drink, it was closed, but overall, it was a great experience.

Very picturesque beach with calm water and fine white sand. Green hills on either side, adds to the beauty. A small fee is charged to park. We saw a variety of fishes near to shore and pelicans diving to catch them was breathtaking. The restaurant there served the best jerk chicken (specialty of the day) I have ever eaten.

Second best beach in St. Thomas. This is not a snorkeling beach in the winter months. Sand is too fine and visibility is around 1 or 2 fees. The beach and sand is absolutely amazing! This rivals beaches on St. John. This beach is very very busy. Try to go when no cruise ships are in town. If you go early you should also get a picnic table. Food and drinks on site. Very nice. 20 minutes for a full pizza isn't bad at all. Get a drink while you wait.

Walk to the east end unless you want to be surrounded in people. We loved climbing the rocks, the pelicans were eating and friendly. Not too many waves. Very clean. $2 parking + $7 per adult

Huge beach that is often VERY full of cruse ship visitors. I think there were 3 cruises in Port when I visited. Also, it cost two of us $16 to get in (admission plus parking). Unfortunately, the water was mirky so the snorkeling was not good. The next time I visit, I'll plan around the cruises and hope for better water clarity. Also, we chose to not eat from the beach bar given the poor reviews so I can't speak for that. Otherwise, the beach was nice and the views were terrific.

We had to go! It wasn’t a sunny beach day but it was on our must do while here. It cost $30 for a car of 4. There is a place to we believe get food or drinks but we brought our own. You can rent a chair and umbrella for $20 per person/chair, then there are free picnic tables. Wasn’t crowded when we arrived but was filling in when we left. The water was warm and blue and we saw sea turtles, pelicans and small school of fish. We walked from one side to the other. My pics don’t give the water color justice l, beautiful. We didn’t get to swim though but we enjoyed walking in the warm water.

1000% recommend, tons of seabirds fishing in the swimming area and the beach is just lovely! Large enough that it doesn’t feel crowded at all on a weekday.
