Everyone Always Asks - What is your favorite beach. It's so hard to just pick one so we have made a list of our top 5 (in no particular order)!

1) Magens Bay - Always rated one of the top beaches in the world by travel magazines, Magens Bay does not disappoint. The beach has a wide stretch of white sand and if looked at from above at Drake's Seat is heart shaped. Magens is surrounded by lush green hills dotted with houses. The water is usually calm and is a great place to relax the day away. You can find a snack bar, a beach bar and even a cute little boutique for a souvenir, t-shirt or a new bathing suit. You can rent a paddleboard or a kayak at Magens also! You will often see turtles pop their head up for a breath of fresh air right out by the swim buoys. Magens is not a great place for snorkeling but it is a good spot to learn how to snorkel since it's so calm!

2) Lindquist Beach - This is a great beach located on the East End of the island between Point Pleasant and Sapphire Beach. There are bathrooms and showers for your use and on cruise ship days, there's usually someone selling drinks and renting chairs on the eastern end of the beach. We bring a cooler with our lunch, set up at one of the tables, set up our chairs and enjoy the day at one of the most pristine beaches on St. Thomas (and usually very quiet too). The beach has soft white sand and crystal clear waters, making it perfect for swimming or just relaxing on the beach.

3) Coki Beach - One of our most popular beaches on St. Thomas and is located also on the east end of the island. Crystal clear waters, beach drink service, great food and vibrant marine life. You can rent snorkel gear, beach chairs, umbrellas. Explore the coral reef on each side of the bay. Learn to dive (full courses and discovery dives) at Coki Dive Center. Enjoy fresh seafood at one of the kiosks and go snorkeling before you indulge in one of the beach cocktails! Please know that Coki Beach is 420 friendly.

4) Secret Harbour Beach- This is a quiet beach and is the perfect spot to watch the sunset. The water is calm, clear and the perfect spot for an early morning swim work out or drinks during happy hour to watch the sunset. Parking is tough as it is located at Secret Harbour Resort but there is a bar and 2 restaurants here - one more casual and one only open for dinner. Snorkeling is good on the right side of the beach (facing the water) and rental chairs and umbrellas are available from Aqua Action Dive Center. Check out Aqua Action for their scuba diving classes.

5) Brewer's Bay Beach - Located out west of the Airport, it is perfect for swimming and snorkeling. There are usually turtles right off the center/right of the beach munching on the seagrass at all times of the day! Showers and bathrooms are available. There are several food trucks parked along side of the road when you need a snack or drink!

These are just a few of the many beautiful beaches that St. Thomas has to offer!
