Closest beach via cab near Crown bay

[keishashadow]

RCCL AoS docks late, 1:30 pm, at Crown Bay our upcoming sailing

 

looking for closest beach we can reach on our own, via cab, for a 2 -3 hours

 

important to have easy transport back to ship

 

Usually do Magens bay or ferry to St John.  Don’t think we have enough time to do them justice.
 

Is Emerald Beach a good option for 2 adults, just want to swim, flop & grab a couple of drinks 

 

believe there’s a hotel there that I hope would be good for finding a cab at end of day.  
 

any suggestions?

Emerald Beach is closest to Crown Bay and has all the amenities most people look for in a beach visit. Taxis are usually waiting in the parking lot to return passengers to their ship.

thanks.  Unfamiliar with that area, would this be a public lot on the beach or the hotel’s lot?

 

On a few islands we’ve made arrangements for taxi driver to come back at a certain time.  Never on st Thomas.  Usually wind up sharing a safari/multi person type vehicle there that slowly fills up or, the resort adjacent would summon a cab

It's the hotel's lot, and yes, unless you ask for a private taxi, the safari type vehicle that is usually parked in the lot will wait to fill up with more passengers. The walk from the beach to the parking lot is maybe the equivalent to 1 or 2 city blocks. You should be able to see it, the hotel, snd the beach on the satellite version of Google maps.
