Magen's Bay Beach AND Sea Turtles

Is it possible to do both? We really want to see Magen's Bay Beach for a couple hours minimum and snorkel somewhere to see sea turtles. At St. Thomas 8am-4pm. Just doesn't seem to be enough time.....If we could snorkel somewhere from shore and see sea turtles, I'd taxi or do private tour. Any suggestions? We will also visit St. Maarten and Nassau.

Umm - you should probably post this on the St Thomas board for info on Magen's Bay.

I posted this in the wrong forum....should have been St. Thomas forum. But if anyone is looking... we figured we can do a morning boat-snorkel excursion to Buck Island - Turtle Cove, then back to ship by 12noon allowing some time for a taxi to beach and back. Happy Cruising!
