Love the long expanse of white sand, availability of breakfast and lunch, shady palm trees for the shade when you need it and the peace and quiet

My husband and I went here and it was our favorite beach on St. thomas. Beautiful view and clear water. There are bathrooms and a cafe to buy food and drinks. There is also picnic tables right by the beach.

We did Magens Beach as an excursion from Carnival Liberty. In hind sight, we could have just taken a cab on our own and spent longer there, but it worked well to know we had a guaranteed round trip ride and we had time in the morning to explore the downtown area. The ride to the beach was interesting, speeding... More
