    I live in St. Thomas, this is pretty cool, that one is easiest to access from Crown Bay Dock & Havensight, it's maybe a 15-20 minute ride from Havensight if your ship docks there which is around 12$ for 2 to get to. Other beaches on St. Thomas include Magens Bay, Secret Harbor, Coki and more that you can easily get to with a taxi ride for 40$ or so for 2 round trip. Thanks for giving our island(s) a shout out. Another one too when you come back is St. John, for 2 it's 20 or 25$ to Red Hook and then 16$ round trip per person to St. John on the passenger ferry. Then another taxi on St. John will take you to any beach you would like to go to, popular ones being Cinnamon Bay, Trunk Bay & Maho Bay, but there are more.

      Are there fees to go to Secret Harbor (Beach Resort) and use their facilities if we are buying lunch & drinks from them?

      It might have storm damage but I didn't notice it because the trip I took was short and didn't really look around the island. The beach was everything I could have wanted in a perfect Caribbean beach! Thank you for watching!

    • @SusanInRealLife
      @SusanInRealLife  5 лет назад

      The chairs were free. I think the reason why is they make money from the bar if you choose to drink. It was not crowded on the day we were there back in September. I would definitely go back, it was cheap, easy and beautiful.

      We didn't snorkel but people did bring snorkel gear and were out snorkeling. It was a perfect beach and we are going back there in December again when we are on our next cruise. I think it's free because they want you to purchase drinks and food at their restaurant. Thanks for watching!

    I have been to St Thomas many times. This beach works well if you dock in Crown Bay. The busier dock in St. Thomas is on the opposite side of town at Havensight. If you dock there you must take a taxi to The water taxi. It is several miles and not walkable
