Sherri Said: This was fun!
How about another thread using our own photos! Wouldn't be a prize tho!
What do ya think?

The prize is one day at this beach at your own expense

I think this one is pretty easy

And, another one for the good guessers! Hint: there's a brick oven not too far from this spot, too.

Margy,
Sapphire? or is it STX?

Islander, D is right! How'd you guess, cuz I live in the area?
You still have to say the word in order to win it!

On Island time,
NOPE!

TomB,
The bar scene reminds me of downtown STT, A H Riise, but last I knew there was no bar there! You have my curiosity up! Got the hint word breeze, but doesn't help me at all!

TomB - Cafe Amici does have great pizza! Sherri good job on getting AH Riise on that one.

Sherri - Couldn't think of many hammocks right by a beach over a grassy lawn... only two came to mind. The one at Limetree (Bluebeards Beach Club) like On Island Time guessed and the one that starts with a D. I've relaxed in both a few times and was quite sure your photo was the latter, that being Dorothea Beach, St. Thomas.

MargyZ - tough one, maybe Tamarind Reef, St. Croix... not sure if the Deep End Bar/Restaurant has a brick oven?

Margy Z,
Platform! Good job! I'll never guess yours! I'll see if Jeff knows. We have gone over a few times to visit a friend.

Islander- YES! Dorothea Beach with the hammock!

Wow, I lucked out on the A H Riise, I love that building and study it every time I am in the area! Just wish I had done even better and got Cafe' Amicci........

It would be better if I could spell better with AH Riise and Cafe' Amicci - hey if spelling counted I would have been thrown off long time ago
😀

No guesses on Number 4???????
I figured some of the non-islander folks would get this one quick...

No guesses on #4, TomB. Sherri - I have never been to Dorothea Beach - have to note that for when we get back there.

OK, for mine, to recap: Hints: a) STX b) near a place with a brick oven c) West of Tamarind Reef

new hints:

d) great diving near here, and a bonus hint e) Pink Floyd

I know you guys will get it NOW!!!

TomB - haven't looked for a payphone in a very long time. There was an interesting show on Discovery Channel or one of the similar channels about the history of telephones a while back. It got into the popularity of payphones and their subsequent decline after cellphones gained popularity. Anyway, are your payphones maybe at the St. Thomas airport?

Nope - not at the airport

But the phones are still there - at least they were a few months ago...
And there were some upset people they were not working

My bet most regulars/islanders have seen them.

I just thought it was funny that all of them were out of order

Hint - great place to get out of rain storm, and still be outside
In fact you can get lunch but I promise you the rain storm would be over long before the food arrived
