Never been to St. Thomas, don't know anyone who's gone, so I have to ask!

How do you pronounce Magen's Beach? I can think of about four different ways to pronounce it, but I've never had the opportunity to hear anyone say it. Can someone spell it out or tell me what it rhymes with?

I feel like such a dummy for even asking. . .

Not at all...it's pronounced like Megan - rhymes with Ronald Regan.
And while I'm here, I've always wondered how to pronounce "Enighed"...anyone? thanks.

Magens is pronounced like Reagan, but with an "s", and there is no apostrophe.
