Sapphire Beach... Been recently?

Just wondering if anyone has been to Sapphire in the last 2-3 months?

We love this beach because it has never seemed to be crowded, calm waters and beautiful views! We've been here 3 times but the last was 3 years ago. There has been so many reviews that say it's as it used to be, now wondering if we should try a different beach!

How far is the ride from Crown Bay?? We've always docked in Havensight in the past.

Is there still washrooms available and chair rentals?

Thank you for any feedback!!

Not clear...

Did you mean "reviews that say it's NOT as it used to be"? Or are you just looking for something different? It's definitely as gorgeous as ever and yes, all of the amenities are available.

There are several posts here from recent visitors. Also see posts 444 and 448 here -

I didn't know.they were open for business again. For a while there you couldn't get a cab to take you or pick up. It has been a couple years and the last time it was run down and the restaurant on site closed. Has that changed?

The formal restaurants are still closed but the Resaurant Group that operates several restaurants in St Thomas has a bar and grill set up just beyond the dive shop and a new restaurant has opened at Sapphire Village on the hill side units at Sapphire Village

Bill, is Banana Cabana gone?

Oh, that is sad. Loved getting a drink and a veggie burger there.
