Beach with bar/chair rentals near port?

[asousa2]

Every time we stop in St. Thomas I somehow get conned into going to Magens Bay. My anxiety can’t handle the drive over the mountain😂😂. Can anyone suggest a beach close to the port (or at least that doesn’t require driving on the terrifying mountain roads) that has chairs for rent and food/drinks available? My blood pressure thanks you in advance!

It's flat all the way to Emerald Beach, but it's close to Crown Bay where Royal Caribbean ships dock, so it can get busy when ships dock at Crown Bay.

I just remembered that taxis at Crown Bay often use a different route to Emerald that goes the backroad and has one hill, but isn't a winding road like the route to Magens.

 

The ships at Havensight that go to Emerald stay on the flat main road.
