Beautiful beads, clean ,water is calm, not too deep. Changing Rooms clean bars,you can rent chairs but the food is a little pricey entrance fee is also pricey $7 per person for none residence and you’re not allowed to leave and returned same day, you have to pay every time you return.

It depends on what you are looking for. If you want nasty water, tons of boats, big crowd, and trashy beaches, this place sucks. But if you want a beautiful beach with clear water, peace, and a place for the family, Magens beach is amazing!!

Beautiful beach,water is so clear ,ez to get to.U have to pay to enter ,for 3 of us little over $20.There is a souvenir shop,pizza and sandwich shop.This may be the most beautiful beach at Saint Thomas.I was only at 3 of Saint Thomas beaches.

Magens Bay Beach is absolutely beautiful. We were there during off season so it wasn't very crowded which made both parking and finding a great spot on beach to drop our stuff easy. Definitely park or head way down to the left on the beach away from the restaurant. That first area is where all the cruise ship people get dropped off and stay and that gets crowded fast. Water and sand are perfect and lots of sea turtles eating sea grass if you snorkel out towards the markers

Water was cool and clear and teaming with fish and other water animals. Beach was beautiful and well maintained with fine white sand. There is a bar and food options on the beach. Also you can rent all kinds of beach equipment including chairs, masks, water floats, etc. It also has a place to rinse off and change before leaving the beach. It was a little crowded with 3 cruise ships in port but that wasn't that bad as the beach is very long. Highly recommended for a dip for a few hours.

Magens Bay – The Best Beach I’ve Ever Been To, No Contest Magens Bay isn’t just a beach — it’s the beach you compare all other beaches to for the rest of your life. I’ve been to plenty of great spots, but nothing touches this place. It’s picture-perfect from every angle: turquoise water, soft sand, quiet coves, and mountain views that look like they were Photoshopped. The Water (aka: Nature’s Giant Infinity Pool) The water here is unreal — shallow, crystal clear, and ridiculously calm. You can walk out forever and still stand. It’s like the Caribbean is politely easing you into the day instead of trying to knock you over with waves. Perfect for floating, swimming, or just zoning out like you’re in a screensaver. And on certain days, you even get rainbows arcing over the bay like it’s personally trying to win a beauty pageant. Your pics prove it — this place flexes on every other beach. Activities If you want more than just sitting in the water like a human starfish, they’ve got: Kayak rentals SUP options Plenty of calm space to paddle without fighting tides Ideal for beginners or people (like me) who want to look semi-athletic without actually doing much. Drinks & Food The bar & grill on site is exactly what a beach bar should be — easy, chill, and dangerously good. Your go-tos: Painkillers (elite tropical drink, no notes) Bushwackers (basically a boozy milkshake and worth every calorie) Grab one of each and suddenly your entire life feels like vacation. Facilities Public bathrooms, changing areas, and everything you need without feeling like you’re in the middle of nowhere. It’s clean, organized, and way more convenient than most “famous” beaches. Vibe Relaxed, peaceful, and never feels overcrowded thanks to the wide shoreline, but when cruise ships are in, the tourists roll in. If you want noise, chaos, vendors, and packed tourist traps… this ain’t it. Magens is where you come to actually unwind. Magens Bay is the kind of place that makes you consider quitting your job and opening a kayak stand. Final Verdict Best beach I’ve ever been to — period. Perfect water, perfect drinks, perfect setting. If you’re in St. Thomas and skip Magens Bay… that’s a terrible life choice.

Magens Bay is absolutely beautiful — one of the cleanest and most relaxing beaches we visited. The water is calm, clear, and perfect for swimming or just floating around. There is an entrance fee of $7 per person, but kids under 12 get in free, which is great for families. The beach is well-maintained, spacious, and has plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the scenery. Totally worth a visit if you’re in St. Thomas!

We did a day trip, from the cruiser. Taxi was about 15 usd per person each direction. The beach is nice… however, full of people trying to sell you drugs like cookies and weed. While snorkelling (near the rocks on the left side of the beach), we saw a lot of small fish.

I personally loved Coki beach. We got there at around 11am and stayed till 3pm. Parking is tight but get there early and you can park on the side. Umbrellas are $10 and chairs are $7 each but it's free if you bring your own stuff. It is a 420 friendly beach so maybe not so much for kids but the snorkel here is great for beginners to advanced alike. The water is calm and the visibility is pretty decent. Saw an octopus and the visibility

Best beach on the island! We thought Mountain Top had the best banana daiquiris, no, Maria at Catch of The Day (the bar in the back) made the best banana daiquiris on the island! Thank you Maria for you talents and hospitality 🍻 Jacqueline, I love you, thank you for the wonderful vacation to St Thomas ❤️🏝️🦈😎

Very beautiful beach! The water is crystal clear!! The only down side is the parking. We found a spot eventually but it was pretty packed! The beach is covered in chairs and umbrellas! You had to duck under them to get to the water! Right when you step on the beach locals are selling things. We saw a tent with jewelry and some dresses, a stand selling coconuts, plenty of places to get food and drinks and some of them were cash only! We rented two chairs and an umbrella from one of the men on the beach for $25! Not bad at all! We found plenty of sea glass! We love collecting it and it’s been the only beach with it so far! Very nice water but very crowded! Most of the photos I took were taken all the way down the beach to the left! The first photo is what it looks like on the right side! Tons of people and little to no room to bring your own chair or lay a towel down! Personally, I love secluded beaches but the water was magnificent!

This was our first beach stop in STT. It did not disappoint. The beach is small but the vibes are grand. We ordered food and drinks from the beach. The restaurant owner Lucy, name of restaurant is the same was so pleasant and lovely to interact with. My husband proper enjoyed himself swimming here. Will definitely be back next time we visit.

Coki Point Beach was such a fun stop! I did some snorkeling here, and even just 3 feet under the water you can already see beautiful marine life — colorful fish everywhere, super close to the shore. It’s a great spot if you want an easy, accessible snorkeling experience without going far out. The beach itself was crowded, and it’s not very spread out, but it’s still really beautiful with clear blue water and lively vibes. If you’re planning to visit Coral World, this beach is right next door and definitely a must-visit. Overall, a busy but gorgeous beach with amazing underwater views just steps from the sand!

If you are staying at Margaritaville, you"ll love this place. Also, get away from the Sargassum thats currently there (helps the turtles out,fyi). You can walk there in a few minutes. You should definitely eat breakfast there and enjoy the beach before the crowd gets there. Got to try chef Karma's breakfast!! Bring cash. So worth it. We came back another day to snorkle and watch the pelicans dive into the water to scoop up fish!! Awesome beach. Chairs and umbrellas worth paying for.

One of the most beautiful beaches in the world. My family loved snorkeling the underwater park. The is not much shade so be prepared with lots of sunscreen or bring your own umbrella. The water was crystal blue and we saw lots of fish.

This was the BEST snorkeling on St. John to see fish and coral. The island is a nice short distance from shore - much closer than the island off of Cinnamon Bay. Halfway between the beach and the island is a shallow reef, about 10 feet down. Here there were a TON of fish! There were so many Yellowtail Snappers, which were so friendly and would get so close! Super cool and fun, especially for new snorkelers or children. We did see a Barracuda cruising through, which was a little scary but very cool as well.

beautiful beach, crystal clear blue water, snorkeling a little ways out but impressive reef with a lot of fish. Nice little snack bar and bar for drinks, we liked the trunk bay gift shop too!

One of the most beautiful beach on the island and most pristine in the Caribbean. The clear and warm water, silky sand draws a lot of tourist and its well maintained facilities. Visitors can bask under the tropical sun and snorkeling. If you are looking for a more active activity, you can explore the park with hiking trails and the ruins of historic sugar plantations.

I wasn’t sure if I should make the trip when my cruise line docked in St. Thomas. After much research & planning.. we did the cab to the ferry, then cab to beach & made it back in time for the ship. Food isn’t cheap at the beach, but the water & sand is amazing!!! So glad we went! If you do buy the $8 hot dogs... DONOT eat them by the beach. We saw the birds dive bomb & eat the hot dog while a kid was holding close to mouth!!!

The most gorgeous beach iv ever been too! Can't wait to go back! Try the snorkel trail.

Very pretty beach. Came during the off season and wasn't too crowded, but I could see it getting busy during peak weeks. There is a $4 entrance fee, but this is one of the most relaxing bays with great views.

Helmet diving! You’ve got to try it. I have not a scuba diver. I am not really a person who likes the water but airline supply from the shore helmet diving is amazing. Me and my wife did this on our honeymoon at coral world. Beautiful park and beautiful underwater scenery. The staff are so helpful and courteous and professional. They made an uneasy situation fun! My wife cannot swim and was a little afraid but she enjoyed herself thoroughly. We had a great time. You’ve got to try this. Take your kids take your wife take your husband whatever just go do it!

We had a WONDERFUL time at the dolphin swim! It's a bit pricey but you can get a discount if you stay at Margaritaville and sit through their sales pitch 😁 still, it was a ton of fun. We're very happy to support the dolphin team! Jasmine was an absolute delight and so much fun! My daughter got to dance with a dolphin - her dream!!! My only thought/recommendation was that the aquarium itself was kinda meh. You can only see a sea lion if you attend one of their presentations so we completely missed it. It's next door to Coki beach and you can park in coral worlds lot if you attend the aquarium. Pretty sure you get a free ticket into the park if you book an excursion -so don't pay twice!!!

Awesome experience doing the Sea Trek - walking on the ocean floor in a helmet!!! We held a sea egg, star fish, and invertebrate and got to see so many beautiful creatures and coral! Our guides made it the best. In addition, we caught the sea lion talk, walked the nature trail to see tortoises and iguanas, caught the sea turtle talk, saw the dolphin that another family was enjoying swimming with, and several small exhibits. We ate at the Shark Bar onsite; they had a decent menu. We got the burgers and a “Shark Bite” rum drink. My family of four with two teen boys enjoyed this place. Highly recommend.

Don’t come here…the underwater observation is under construction (3 month from now). Of course it’s not written anywhere in the website. When we realize that , we go to the ticket office and the manager try to apologize but she insists that the lady at the counter told us that the observation is closed and also give us 10% off. We try to get refund (even partially)for this scam but the manager told us there is nothing she can do. My main problem was that it’s not written in the website The staff in the park was very kind , but it’s 30 min taxi from cruise pier(that cost 90$ for 3 of us and 75 $ admission ) for park that the kid get board in 1.5 hour.

We did the Snuba experience. Soooo cool. Advice: if you take meds for blood pressure, bring a doctor's note of clearance with you. It was perfectly fine and we had a blast!! The video and plenty I cures taken by the instructor were great

We went mainly for the dolphin encounter. Our grandson loved that, and we appreciated the enthusiasm of the staff. Then we made our way through the exhibits which were done very well, considering this isn't an enormous park. The underwater observatory was unique. The park wasn't overcrowded. Enjoyed the gift shop and food stand.

*An Unforgettable Experience with Nola and Jasmine at Coral World Ocean Park** Visiting Coral World Ocean Park was an absolute dream come true! My husband and I had the incredible opportunity to swim with the dolphins, and it was an experience we'll cherish forever. Our trainer, Jasmine, was exceptionally knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the well-being of the dolphins. She guided us with care and made us feel at ease throughout the experience. The highlight of our visit was swimming with Nola, the beautiful and friendly dolphin. Interacting with Nola was magical—she was so playful and seemed to enjoy our company as much as we enjoyed hers. It was heartwarming to see the bond between Jasmine and Nola, and it made the experience even more special. We can't thank the team at Coral World enough for creating such a memorable and educational experience. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for an extraordinary adventure!

Beach was a bit busy and parking was tough but we found a spot. And then found a good spot off to the far right in the shade. Beach was amazing and the family was able to snorkeling and got to see turtles, and fish along with crabs tying to exchange shells.

Beautiful and not terribly crowded beach area. The limited parking (pretty much just the side of the road) limits the crowding, and the beach is just feet away from the road. Snorkeling here was not great for us. There's no coral - just turtle grass here. So we saw about 2 fish while out here and nothing else. One guy claimed to have seen a sea turtle - which seem to be common here.

Maho. Just go. Get there early. Smaller than Trunk and Cinnamon, but parking is close and the beach is beautiful. More sheltered than Cinnamon which means less wind and less waves. Saw a four foot string ray and some smaller rays. Plenty of turtles! There have cabanas with picnic tables for free if you get there early. They have a beach bar and souvenir shop too. I recommend a Lime In The Coconut.

I've been to many islands and many beaches, and to me.This is the most beautiful beach in the world. It is stunning the water the surroundings. Perfect day for snorkeling and exploring. you can swim around and see all types of fishies and turtles. Across the street, they have food, trucks and dream trucks, perfect for a day at the beach. I recommend this beach to everyone. It's a once in a lifetime, please to visit

This beach is very awesome, beautiful and secluded. Gifts and eats after located across the street. The sand is white, the water is emerald, very good place to spend the day on a beach.

Great beach the wake is very mellow there are sea turtles an sea rays not much fish but very beautiful area to spend a few hours on St.John

Perfect beach for people with mobility issues due to calm waters to swim in and easy sand to walk on.

Absolutely beautiful views! Pool is amazing and well kept. Condo was well kept and had everything we needed and more. We had a power outage but we just enjoyed the pool and ordered pizza. Highly recommend!

Im being kind, the condo is a bit tired. The beach is nice, the rest of the grounds, not nice at all. We are 3 buildings away from the food/bar approximately 900 feet. There has been live music twice so far, it's so loud I can feel the bass running through me. It's not like they're catering to the 20 something crowed, most of the guests are late 40's to 60's. The food is okay, similar to many of the restaurants here, nothing to brag about. We've been to St. Thomas several times, will definitely go back to Secret Harbour next time.

The rooms are clean but in serious need of remodeling. The beach is fantastic with 3 small places to get food and drinks and 1 very overpriced dinner restaurant. We had rust around plumbing and cracks in walls and ceilings so don't expect much from the rooms. The staff is super friendly, maids come every other day, snorkel equipment and beach towels provided at the office. Also a laundry room is on site. We loved the pool, snorkeling in Sapphire Beach, watching the iguanas and just chilling on our balcony. I am only giving it a 3 because of the rooms.

Sapphire Beach Resort really has it all!! From breakfast and coffee, to drinks and lunch/casual dinner, to upscale dining, everything is at your fingertips. We especially enjoyed all the iguanas, small lizards, cats, and chickens that roam about. Being able to walk out our patio right onto the beach was the highlight of the trip! Building A is perfectly situated near everything, and allowed us to easily come and go from our unit when we needed to grab some water, a snack, use the restroom, or take a break on our patio. Do note that each unit is individually owned, and some are much better than others! We rented units in Building D and C that we left immediately due to mold and terrible musty/mildew smells. Some of the property does have some wear and tear, but overall we were very happy with our stay (after the first two units) and hope to come back.

One of the few condo style resorts with an amazing sand beach and great snorkeling right off the beach. Several beach bar style restaurants on the premises with absolutely amazing food. I have to say the food has been far beyond expectations. We have had some of the best meals here.

The resort is old and tired. The front security was nice and the resort feels safe. The high end restaurant and the bar restaurant are both decent food wise. Service at the bar is not friendly but efficient. Speaking of the rooms, A203 was pretty run down and shabby but it was mostly clean. You can see fireworks over in St John on the 4rh of July from the deck. The pool itself is decent although a little cold and close to the sargassum that accumulates by the marina so a little stinky. The area has a lot of potential because there’s a big shade area and an old bar but it’s run down and dilapidated and no longer functioning. The Marina area has a laundry room and the washers and dryers were in working order. Staff at the marina was nice. The grounds are just plain shabby. No other way to put it. I bet this was a nice place in the heyday but those days are long gone.

Second time staying here. This time for a month. Very close to everything you need and all of the staff are friendly and helpful. One tip, in the Virgin Islands it is customary to great everyone with a pleasantry. Good morning, good afternoon, how are you doing, etc. will go a long way towards making you stay more enjoyable.

We purchased our tickets online. Reasonably priced. We took the ferry from St. Thomas to St. John and back. Quick trip and worth every cent! Comfortable ride. Great way to visit St. John and see it's beautiful Trunk Bay Beach!

A beautiful place to visit.. the people in this area were very nice, and there was lots to see and lots to do. The ferry was very inexpensive. It only costs $8 and the views were amazing. This is a must see place. I provided some of my drone views. Enjoy..

It's really easy to get in and out of parking available $15 for the day. Make sure to check the prices of tickets one way versus one way. The ferry runs real close to times posted.

It was no frills and on time. Great value

A roundtrip is $65. A quick 20 min ferry ride to St. John is worth the money. More activities to do and great spots to add more memories.

Cruz Bay Ferry Dock is a place where you can catch a boat to go to other cool places. I went there once and it was really exciting! There were big boats waiting at the dock, and I got to get on one of them. The boat took me on a fun ride across the water to a beautiful island. I saw lots of pretty views and even some dolphins swimming alongside the boat. It was like being on an adventure! When we arrived at the other island, I got off the boat and explored all the fun things there. It was a great experience and I can't wait to go back again!

Plenty of trash containers. Taxis right there which are $9 pp regardless of locations. No safari busses. Plenty of seats and fairly clean ferries. Got security and they don’t allow food or drinks that are opened and in view. This includes water bottles and coffee.

Must go place to visit for beautiful views of the island and indulging in their iconic banana daiquiri!! Famous photo and souvenir stop where the souvenirs weren’t that bad in price and there were a ton of options to choose from. Food options could be better, they really only sold hotdogs, chips and drinks.

I saw some people say it was expensive but I’m not sure if we went at different times because they had shirts 9.99, keychains 10 for 5.00 and a great banana daiquiri. This was the best store/lookout I’ve been to here.

Beautiful scenery and the best gift shop on my whole trip. They had everything, a look out deck, and a tiki bar.

Had to get the banana daiquiri and it didn't disappoint! Views are just spectacular

Mountain Top is a must-visit spot in St. Thomas! The banana daiquiri was absolutely delicious — refreshing and just the right balance of sweet and tropical. The view from the top is breathtaking, offering stunning panoramic sights of the island and surrounding waters. The souvenir shop was also impressive, with a wide variety of items to choose from — everything from t-shirts, magnets, and keychains to beautiful freshwater pearl jewelry and unique pieces made from shells. A perfect place to grab gifts or keepsakes to remember the trip!

Great little tourist spot for travel gifts, cold drinks, get their special banana 🍌 drink and take in a spectacular view.

The view is why you go to Mountain Top, the banana daquiri is a bonus! It's surprisingly affordable with a souvenir cup! The only regret was that we didn't wait to buy our gifts for back home beforehand, I would have waited if I knew how big the shop was and the variety of souvenirs! Taxi was the more expensive part of the trip, coming from Coki Beach area resort.

Nice beach to hang out and catch some sun and ocean waves. Not great for snorkeling and it gets packed with local tourists and those coming over from St. Thomas for the day. Parking can be a challenge as well. Go early to grab a spot.

Everyone talks about Trunk Bay being the most beautiful in the world, but do not skip this one! We packed up early and walked to the very far end near the black rocks. Spent the whole day relaxing feeling like we were the only ones on the beach. Everyone clears out at 4 to catch their cruise’s or their dinner plans so if you want that picturesque sunset walk on the beach, you’ll get it! We snorkeled a lot on St.John so the days we came here we drank the day away :). A short walk back to the entrance and amazing painkillers, strong ones too! Don’t let people on Facebook groups scare you, bring your Neso and just be considerate of others

In our first appriach we were not going to visit this beach thinking in Trunk beach as our first option, however after visiting Cinamon Beach I will say that it's a paradaise. Super good installations food, clear waters and a bay that will make you dream. This is a must, dont forget it!

Without a doubt my favorite beach! Of course I haven’t been to all, but this one was just breathtaking!! No entry fee, we took a taxi but there was parking. Bathrooms are available & little food/drink shack

This beach is hard to describe in words. It IS GORGEOUS. Soft sand, barely a shell or rock in the ocean and crystal clear waters. Great for snorkeling or just floating on your back! We found fresh coconuts and beautiful coral when walking down the beach. I need to go back!!!!

What an absolutely gorgeous beach. I would have loved to have spent the day here, but we had a laundry list of things to see. We were in search of the “window” that I had seen everywhere when researching the area and then learned that it’s right as you walk from the parking lot, down the sidewalk, to the beach. I was thinking we had to do some major hiking to get to it, but not the case. The parking is ample and the beach is pretty big. You may even catch a glimpse of a cute little deer passing through.

By far my favorite beach on St. John. Not at all crowded like Trunk Bay, although the campground there is still closed from Irmaria so it may be more crowded when that opens. Sugar sand beach, clear water, and good snorkeling. Take the time to go across the street and take the trail through the ruins on a self-guided tour.

The beach is beautiful, but there was a lot of seaweed at the west end of the beach. The park was clean going to the beach and they sweep it up as quickly as we seaweed accumulated. Also be aware of iguana, jumping out the trees. Take your own snacks, water no food available on the beach. There is an entry fee.

This beach was $16 to enter for two people. You're allowed to drive down to put your stuff at the table or on the sand but you have to bring your car back up. So the walk is a little ways down on sharp pebbles so bring shoes. Otherwise, the sand and the beach is amazing. The views were great as well. I found some sea glass and it is mostly broken coral when you're snorkeling. They have picnic tables and a nice shower area with restrooms. There's some nice trees there. You can sit under the shade if you don't want to be in the direct sunlight as well.

We’ve been to St. Thomas numerous times over the past few decade and a half, but this was our visit to this beach. It’s a very nice, natural beach without all the crowds and locals preying on tourists. We paid under $40 for parking and beach fees for 5 adults (adults are anyone over 13 years of age), which is reasonable. The beach is part of a nature preserve, which keeps the beach looking great and well maintained. They have you pay at the front gate, then you can drive up to the beach, drop off your gear, then park back by the gate and walk 2 minutes back to the beach. The beach is narrow, but it’s long and has nice shade from the mangrove trees. Probably the only complaint I’d have is that there was a lot of dead sea grass/vegetation in the water and on the beach. The dark spots in the water of our photos were clumps of grass. Workers were raking the beaches earlier in the day to clear the beaches, and it wasn’t a distraction. But the grass was pretty heavy the day we were there. We didn’t go too far from the along the beach for snorkeling, but the sandy beaches and heavy sea grass were not ideal for underwater visibility. I’d suggest walking to the east end of the beach closer to the rocky point if you want to snorkel. We didn’t visit any of the food or drink establishments, but I believe they had some options available later in the afternoon (after 2pm?). They also offered chairs and umbrellas for sale, but we were fine with the natural shade. We saw quite a few chickens and a few iguanas, which was entertaining. Most of the people on the beach were families. The water and waves were pretty tame, but the waves are slightly more than a lot of other St. Thomas beaches, but nothing to discourage families. There was a lifeguard on duty for part of the afternoon. Also, there were bathrooms and showers on the premises, which is a plus. Glad we checked out this old school gem of a Carribean beach.

nice beach, we were told this was a great place to snorkle and particularly see lots of turtles. I understand that every day is different when snorkling, but there was nothing to see. I hope we just visited at the wrong time of the year, this would have been a great place to spend a day exploring

One of the best beaches I've ever been to. Turquoise water like you've never seen. Not too crowded. Beach chairs for rent. Incredible snorkeling. Very clean bathrooms. I might have to move to STT based on this beach.

We went at 9:45 by taxi. We wish we rented a car! The beach has yellow/white sand and crystal blue waters. It wasn’t busy, but had people there, maybe 25 total. The showers worked well and there were bathrooms. We brought our own food and drinks. There wasn’t any drinks available until 2:30pm when we left. A local sold drinks. The snorkeling wasn’t great. We did go on a fun beach exploration walk discovering sea urchins, star fish, sea worms and shells. I definitely would recommend this beach for a long morning.

Head to Lindquist Beach early! This stunning, less-crowded gem is part of Smith Bay Park and offers powdery white sand, calm turquoise water, and picture-perfect views of St. John and the BVIs. Arrive before 10 AM to snag a shady spot under the sea grape trees and enjoy the peaceful vibe before more visitors arrive. Bring a picnic, as amenities are limited—but there are clean restrooms and lifeguards on duty. Ideal for couples, families, and anyone seeking that “postcard” Caribbean beach day without the crowds.

One of the highlights of our family's St. John vacation was our snorkel adventure with Captain Mike. We were picked up at the Westin Resort and spent the next 5 hours traveling around the island coastline, discussing island history, viewing the tropical scenery and snorkeling the beautiful bays. Capt. Mike was very knowledgeable and an awesome, fun host. Our catamaran was roomy, provided shade and was a pleasure to be on. We highly recommend our snorkel adventure and Capt. Mike.

We finished up our second trip to St John in April 2023, and over the course of our visits we've taken several charters. Without a doubt Morningstar was our best day of both trips! Captain Mike was great - he is so knowledgeable about the island and was very personable and engaging. He taught us about how a sailboat works and let us each take the wheel. Our daughters one wish was to see a sea turtle while snorkeling, and at our first stop we immediately saw a number of sea turtles and a stingray. The lunch was great and he makes a mean painkiller. I almost hesitate writing this review because it will be harder to get a reservation for our next visit :)

My family of 4 adults had one of the best days out on a boat we have ever had! To start, booking was very easy. We had bad weather the day of our original booking and Captain Mike was flexible and worked with us to find another day with great weather! (We still got a few quick shower but when you're IN the water... Who even notices). The wind was higher that usual and Captain Mike still navigated it with ease. He is extremely knowledgeable, but also down to earth and easy to talk to the whole trip! (He even gave me a few good life tips). We explored and snorkeled multiple protected coves and saw plethora of sea life including sea turtles and sting rays. He even let everyone who wanted to to sail the boat ourselves. The lunch and snacks from North Shore Deli was also a perfect post swim lunch! This is also Captain Mike's own business so it's nice knowing everything goes right to him and his family! We will definitely be back!

This was a great experience better than the big catamarans. If you can sail with Capt. Mike go for it. The boat is not new and it is work in progress but the amount of fun we had with Mike cannot be put into words. We had an incredible day of sailing, sites and snorkeling. My kids loved it and they cried when we got back to Cruz Bay. He can handle kids and the families, plus he has a great personality. Not only was it fun, Mike has a bubbly personality and he is a great listener and talker. We had a chance to sail and he is very open to moving the schedule around to fit what you want. We never felt rushed or pushed to do something. We got to a snorkeling site I felt it look rough and expressed my concerns to him and he agreed and we moved on. It was great fun, with awesome drinks and food. We will be back every year and next time we want him to bring his kid and wife. Thanks Mike for a great day of fun under the sun.

My wife, daughter and I went on the sunset sail with Mike yesterday. We had a wonderful time. Getting into and off the boat via dinghy at the beach by High Tide was quite smooth. There's plenty of room on the boat for a half dozen or more guests. The main seating area is covered to protect from the sun, and there are beanbags up on the bow to relax in. Mike is a great conversationalist and is very easy to talk to on a variety of topics. Mike taught our teenage daughter the basics of tiller control and filling the sails, and she kept us on coarse for a good part of the sail. We also relaxed in a calm bay and ate cheese, crackers and grapes with the drinks Mike prepared throughout the sail. I highly recommend a day or evening sail with Morningstar if you are in St John.

We had such a wonderful experience with Morningstar Charters and Captain Mike. We brought our two children (5 and 2) and Captain Mike was so accommodating so that everyone had fun and was safe aboard the boat. We had beach time, relaxing time with lunch on the boat, cruised—perfect day! My daughter got to steer the boat, swam with the turtles and had “fancy” drinks while my little guy had a nice nap—we were so glad we did this experience with our kids and Morningstar was the perfect choice for our day charter!

My family and I had a wonderful time with a sunset cruise! The boat was well maintained, and a perfect size for a short tour with 4-6 people. Mike was very friendly, and we spent most of the time hearing his story. He also made a delicious lime-flavored drink and some quality painkillers. We recieved a call a few days before our scheduled time asking to move a day earlier. Turns out this was a great call, since it rained the next day. Overall I highly recommend scheduling a trip with Morningstar. It's a high quality and family owned business.

Went here on a Sunday afternoon for a family day at the beach! I ordered the Cajun shrimp appetizer which was delicious. The wings were not up to par as they were not crispy as expected. In addition to that, the amount of fries that were given were less compared to our previous experience. Overall the prices did not meet the expected quality and quantity of the food. Lastly, our waiter Jordan was cool but we did wait a long time overall for the food! Hopefully next time will be a better experience as I heard really great things about the restaurant!

Wahoo Sandwich was amazing! Fresh local catch always a winner. Breathtaking scenery, casual beach vibe. Try the lime in de coconut - you won't be disappointed.

I love visiting rainbow beach the service is always so good. I love going here for date night. Our server Maria was so friendly and attentive and the drinks and food were amazing. This is truly dinner with a view.

Great food, drinks, and unbeatable sunset views! Rhythms is in a perfect beachside location you can enjoy your meal or drinks with your feet in the sand and the sound of the ocean right beside you. The food and cocktails were delicious, and the laid-back atmosphere made it easy to relax and enjoy the moment. The vibe was beachy and relaxed, making it easy to unwind and enjoy the setting. There’s also plenty of parking, which is always a plus. Just a heads-up—if you're coming with a larger group, it's a good idea to call ahead so they can accommodate you comfortably. The only reason I'm giving 4 instead of 5 stars is a small but frustrating hiccup we weren’t aware that there's a specific area for takeout orders, and the server refused to take our order since we were seated in the “wrong area". It was an honest mistake, and we were more than willing to move, but the policy felt unnecessarily rigid. Still, overall it’s a fantastic spot for good food, beach views, and a relaxed island experience. Perfect place to catch the sunset with a few drinks and food! 🌅🍹🌴

This was such a fun bar/restaurant! The waiter was so much fun to talk to and the views were breathtaking! I ordered the Nachos and when they say it's huge- it's seriously HUGE!

OMG! A amazing place. Great food, great drinks, great dessert. TVs for sports too!

Great time, great food, loved the friendly atmosphere. Jordan was super!

This is a very nice snorkeling spot - mainly because it's away from people. We were the only ones here at the time. Beware of a few things: There are a ton of jellyfish. They are mostly moon jellyfish, which have a sting that doesn't hurt too bad (so I'm told), but I'd rather stay on the safe side. Around the Cay gets shallow and it's filled with sharp coral. Stay away from the shallow areas to avoid touching it. The same shallows are full of sea urchins. Be very careful - these things hurt a lot. I just spent the last hour digging spines out of my partner's hand. Just stay away. The waves are larger around here. It's not a great spot for children. Otherwise, we saw a HUGE green sea turtle and a lot of fish around here.

One of our favorite snorkeling spots on St John. Nice hike in. The coral took a little abuse but seems to be coming back nice. Saw some sea turtles and a large barracuda as well. Will definitely return.

Great snorkeling, have to be willing walk. Only carry what you need and be comfortable to carry it. Swim counter clockwise around the cay to catch the current back. Sharks, rays, barracudas, and plenty of fish. Not a tourist spot yet so very low key. Walk all the way to the point for the easiest access to the cay. Enjoy!

Great snorkeling. Saw see turtles, nurse sharks and thousands of fish. Takes a good hike to get there but it was worth it.

First let’s be honest, it’s a hike, a hot hike. I had to carry all of our gear, took 30 minutes. On the way in prior to the cay there were sea turtles in the grass. I left my wife on the stones, no sand beach near the cay. The swim out to the cay was nice, saw a nurse shark under some coral. We swam counterclockwise around the cay as everyone says to. There were large coral and all the fish on the backside. Not saying it’s not worth it yet there’s better beaches on the island.

The hike (its flat the whole way but about 20-25 minutes) is completely worth it for the incredible snorkeling! We saw an array of gorgeous fish including rainbow parrotfish, and also encountered a nurse shark. Just keep in mind the current when snorkeling here and be cautious. I recommend not doing this trip alone.

Probably best spot to snorkel on the island. In my opinion, Hawaii has much better spots, but def. worth the visit. Make sure you go for a dive at the beach prior the cat. There are sea turtles, sting rays there.

A fun experience and a great view at top of the Skyride to Paradise. The Baileys Bushwacker was delicious too. A good noonish excursion in Saint Thomas. I reccomend it!

I pre-arranged my ticket through my cruise line. I went not long after the ship docked and there was long line ups going down the stairs. I left and came back around 2:00 PM and there was no line. Since I already had a ticket I didn’t have to wait, there was a friendly staff who gave me my bracelet and told me what to do. There are nice views at the top if you like taking photos as well as bathrooms, restaurant , places to sit, and stores. There are seats to wait when you want to go back down and the staff there give clear instructions and are there to assist if needed. There are ledges in the skyride you can lean/ kind of sit on, it’s not a full seat but it works well enough that you can lean on it if you don’t want to stand fully. I would recommend this if you are looking for something to do. It was a quick walk from where my ship docked with plenty of stores along the way.

The Skyride to Paradise Point was a wonderful experience! The ride up is smooth, and once you reach the top, you’re greeted with stunning panoramic views of St. Thomas and the harbor — absolutely breathtaking. At the top, there are several gift shops, clothing stores, and places to eat, making it a great spot to relax, browse, and enjoy the scenery. It’s a perfect way to spend a couple of hours and capture some amazing photos. Definitely worth adding to your itinerary for the views alone!

Nice view on top of Paradise point. They have stores where you can buy souvenirs. They have restaurants as well where you can enjoy your food while overlooking at St Thomas view. It was cloudy when we went, and we didn't get a clear view as we would like to see. Employees were friendly.

It’s an interesting experience that you get at St Thomas. I liked the view that opens there. There is not so much to do there besides the view. You can find some stores and a small restaurant there where you can grab a bite if you are hungry. We like one of the stores there that supports kids. I think it’s called big brother or something like that. What I didn’t like is that you have to jump out from the cabin and jump in which is not safe. One of the cabin’s door broke down because the equipment was old.

Fun time and good food at the grill. Didn't have Bushwackers, but non-alcoholic drinks that were great. Shopped and took lots of pictures.

The ride up to Paradise Point was smooth and easy, and my family and I truly enjoyed every moment. Once we reached the top, the views overlooking the island were absolutely breathtaking—definitely one of the highlights of our trip. There were no long wait times for tickets or boarding the Skyride, which made the experience even more enjoyable. At the top, Paradise Point offers a nice variety of shops for souvenirs, along with a couple of restaurants to relax and grab a bite. There are also a few fun games and activities for both kids and adults, making it a great spot for families. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and well worth the visit!

Wonderful National Park, great snorkeling including turtles, black eyed jack, parrot fish, puffer fish, trunk fish, large barracuda, blue tang, needle fish, a huge flounder, extra large conch shells, and a huge carribean lobster. Beautiful sand and water around the island.

Snorkeling the Buck Island National Monument Reef System was an awe-inspiring adventure! The vibrant marine life and crystal-clear waters create an underwater paradise. The coral formations are a mesmerizing kaleidoscope, showcasing the reef's resilience. Snorkeling through schools of tropical fish felt like navigating a living aquarium. The experienced guides ensured a safe and informative experience, pointing out unique species and sharing fascinating insights about the ecosystem. The visibility was exceptional, allowing us to witness the intricate beauty of the underwater world. The Buck Island National Monument Reef System offers a breathtaking and educational snorkeling experience that surpasses expectations. It's a must-visit for nature enthusiasts and anyone seeking a profound connection with the ocean's wonders. Every moment beneath the waves felt like a magical journey into the heart of marine splendor.

One of the most amazing beaches I've ever experienced. Soft white sand and warm turquoise water. Really beautiful and romantic. A great place to lay on the sand and get a tan, has spots with shade under trees to enjoy a sandwich. Bring water and food with you. Bring a towel to sit on as well. The beach is long and wide so lots of room for people to lay out. I'd really recommend checking this place out.

One of the best, Pristine Beach that there is. You will need a Boat to get to it. Snorkeling was amazing around the island which has a protected Coral Reef. A Must go if you visit St. Croix!

National monument, come here only if you can preserve nature. Turtle nests, bird nests, raw nature. Open only during the day. South part has a nice beach and north part has some snorkeling spots. There are some picnic tables but you should carry your garbage away when you are done. Beautiful spot.

Amazing place! Don't miss it, if your at St Croix! Do the hike, totally worth the time!

Amazingly soft sand on the beaches! a very nice place to visit.
