St Thomas Magen's Bay

We are visiting St Thomas in March. We're a 3-generation group of seven with ages from 9- to 77 (active.) we are looking to have a relaxing day...maybe a little shopping, maybe some beach and snorkeling time. We don't want to pay an arm and a leg but do want to see a bit of the island. What options do we have for getting to the beach? I trust that those who want to snorkel may rent gear if they wish. It is just a place we have never visited before. Thank you for your ideas.

Magens isn't a snorkeling beach. Most of the island tours offered by taxi drivers offers everything you're looking for no more than $35 pp. How many in your group?

Most people who want to snorkel go to Sapphire Beach because of chairs, food, drinks, and snorkel rental.

We went to Magen's Bay last week on our day in St Thomas. It was an $8 per person taxi ride each way. So, for our family it was $64 round trip. It is a couple dollars to get in to the beach as well. There are lounge chairs to rent, snorkel gear, floating mats, food and drinks. It was very calm waters while we were there. My 7 year old twins had a great time playing in the water! It was quite crowded the day we were there..... People everywhere!

Wanted to add..... It is a fun ride to the beach. Our taxi driver told some history and would pull over at just the right spots for people to take pictures. Most of the taxis are open-air trucks with benches and seating for 15 - 20.
