Coki Beach or Magens Bay

How far is each beach from the cruise terminal on St Thomas and which
beach would you go to? We are going to one of the beaches but not sure
which one. We'll be going by cab.

I'll vote for Coki's cove. Best snorkeling I did on that Eastern Caribbean
Cruise. Just be mindful of the fire coral

Coki did have great snorkeling. I confess, though, that I didn't spot
the fire coral you mention (nor was I really looking for it...oops). If
snorkeling is something the OP is interested in doing, then Coki would
be preferable over Magens. I've never been to Magens, but I've heard
it's very beautiful, however, there's no reef/snorkeling there.

It's a little bit of a drive. When you get off the ship, tell the guy
that's filling the taxi busses where you want to go, and he'll put you
on the right bus. Most of the folks that were on my taxi bus were
headed to Red Hook to ferry over to St. John. If I remember correctly,
they were charged $7 each way for the ride, while those of us headed to
Coki were only charged $6, even though it was a longer drive. Not sure
why that is...a reward for staying on St. Thomas?

Coki has food/drink right on the beach. It can be crowded, but I really
like it.

Mike,

I do them both when I'm there -- two terrific places -- one for snorkeling
and one for sheer beauty.

How about getting back from the beach? Pretty easy to grab a taxi out
there?

Plenty of cabs from Coki Beach. Also while you are there, you can
visit Coral World if you want to.

Cabs are lined up, ready to take you anywhere. Not a problem at all.
They may try to fill one of the bigger taxi busses, so they might keep
you waiting for a few minutes. But, absolutely no problem getting a
ride back to the ship from there.

We are not big snorkelers, so we opted for Magen's Bay. Have been there
several times and love it. It is about a 10 minute cab ride. Food, drink,
bathrooms, etc. right. Beach chairs, float mats are available also. Gift
shop also. Great water, great sand. It gets crowded also. Cabs readily
availabe for trip back. denise
