Beach please last minute

We leave Saturday on the 8 night Valor. We have been to St. Thomas several times but never with out family. It is just the 2 of us and I am trying to rely on a tired, child filled memory of the beaches we have been too. We have never been to Sapphire Beach. I have read the threads here and it sounds nice but we are NOT snorkeling at this port. Requirements are bathroom, a cold drink of something, chair and umbrella. I checked the port info and there is only one other Carniva, ship in port with us on September 18th. Need this advice and feedback ASAP! :)

Thanks

Sapphire Beach is beautiful, even if you are not snorkeling. It is our favorite beach in St. Thomas. Magen's Bay is very pretty, but can be crowded. It does have a nice bar and shade--bathrooms are decent. Secret Harbor is very nice-- not too crowded, hammocks, a bar, and good bathrooms. Not a big fan of Emerald--too close to the airport. Coki is pretty, but the area around it leaves much to be desired--kind of scary to me. Lindburg (sp?) is also suppose to be nice, but I have never been there, so I can't really tell you much about it. Or if you have the time, a ferry to St. John may be nice since you have already been to St.Thomas.

 

If you have any questions--ask. We have spent our last two land vacations there. We love St. Thomas.
