Hi,
I would like to hear from anyone that knows the beaches of St. Thomas. Are there any quiet off the beaten path beaches? I'm going in February and would like to avoid the run of the mill tourist beaches if possible.
Thanks,
Eric
Does anyone know what the cost would be to take a taxi from Coki Beach (we plan on going before it gets busy with tour drop offs.) to Secret Harbor? How about from Coki Beach to Sapphire Beach? Also...where is Secret Harbor located? I can't find it on the map.
Thanks
Carrie
Carrie: coki, sapphire & s. harbor are all on east end of stt, only a few minutes drive time apart, so taxi fare should be nominal. sh is b/w deck point (to the east) and beverhout point (immediately west of sh) on the southeast "corner" of stt, opening onto jersey bay.
definitely secret harbor for fewer people and good snorkeling. to get there, take hwy 322 just (less than a mile) south of red hook; hwys 32, 38 and 322 all come together at that point. go about a mile, maybe a little less, east on 322, and you'll see the small (~ 3 ft x 3 ft) secret harbor sign on the right. the beach itself is less than a mile down the windy road from the sign. best snorkeling at secret harbor around the rocks on the right and left sides of the beach.
enjoy.
Thanks alot az...just the answers I was looking for. 🙂
