Beaches
The VI and BVI have too many beautiful beaches to mention, but here are some highlights!
Magens is St. Thomas's most famous beach. Along with its beauty it has a concession, bar, and bathrooms which is great. The beach is very large, so even on a busy day you can avoid the crowds if you go left or right.

In my personal opinion Lindquist is the most beautiful beach on St. Thomas. For a relaxing, beautiful day go to Lindquist. There is not a concession so back a cooler. Must have cash to enter. Not very much shade. Across the street is Golden Age Ranch where you can rent horses to ride on the beach.

Coki offers the best snorkling on St. Thomas. You will be offered to purchase dog bones on the beach. The fish love them and will swarm around you. It's really a cool sight. Snorkling and diving gear is rented on the beach. There are also a few little bars. Parking is limited and the beach gets very crowded when we have more than 2 cruise ships at port. If you plan on going to Coki check the newspaper and see how many ships will be in the following day. Sundays later afternoon has a DJ.

Sapphire is very fun on Sundays. There is either a DJ or live music and a restaurant right on the beach. Very family friendly.

I highly recommend going to St. John. It is a beautiful island that is 80% National Park. Either take the walk on ferry (runs every hour from Red Hook) and just walk around Cruz Bay or take the car ferry and make a whole day of it. There are great restaurants, historic sights, hiking trails, and pristine beaches.

Brooks is somewhat of a hole in the wall, but the food is awesome! If you want to try local fish, chicken, or meats I highly recommend stopping at Brooks. Brooks is directly above Magens on the side of the road. It's a great stop on the way home from the beach. Portions are huge. Cash only.

Box Bar is a very cute bar in Yacht Haven Grande. They have great drinks. No food, but there are plenty of restaurants in the area. If you are traveling with children it's a good spot because they can play Jenga or run in the grass.
