Beach
The island’s favorite beach is a curving arc of white sand and bright blue water. It’s protected by a forested arboretum and palm trees, ensuring calm waves for swimming and kayaking.
From the vantage point of Mountain Top, you can easily make out the bay’s unusual rectangular shape and mile of white-sand beach, but the best view is up close from the sand.
Being so popular, the beach has some great facilities, including lifeguards, showers, snack stall and windsurf rental.
A nature trail winds from Magens Bay Road down the beach, just over a mile, taking you through tropical forest and mangroves via boardwalks and well-maintained steps and paths.

Doing what: St Thomas Shore Excursion: Shopping, Sightseeing and Beach Tour
The tour group that hosted our tour was called Sunny Liston. Our driver was awesome! He was very knowledgeable and made the trip a lot of fun. He sang and had us singing. We had to hang on because at times it felt like we were on an amusement park ride. We definitely got our money's worth. The only suggestion I would have would be if you are not into jewelry shopping, shorten the trip a little. All we found for shopping in St. Thomas were jewelry stores. We spent our shopping time sitting in the park waiting for the island part of the tour to begin. I was hesitant to book with Viator never having heard of them, but I would book with them again. It was definitely worth the money and it was a blast!

'Sunny Liston' made our tour group the envy of all the other tours. He had us singing along with him and as we passed other tours they would check us out and see the fun we were having.
