Blue Water, I love your star ratings system!

Could you also do ratings for Lindquist / Smith's Bay beach?

I know that they have no food/drink/concessions.  (maybe some lounger chairs). They do have restroom and shower facilities.

But, I would appreciate a comparison on some of the other categories.

Yes, if KathyLee didn’t need facilities I would have suggested Lindqvist. Arguably the nicest beach on the island…

I think I mentioned in another thread we would stop at Moe’s Market in Red Hook to pick up a nice picnic lunch and drinks, and lay on our towels at that beach 👍

Very nice rating system, blue_water! It would be very helpful if you would post it again in a separate thread so it will be easier to find.

Thanks, I’m sure everyone will have different opinions though…☺️
I will start a new thread and then others can share their ratings!

Great idea! Ha, ha! You don't have Coki, the party beach, on there. It gets very crowded, but not everybody wants a relaxing beach.
