1. Sapphire Beach

4.5 based on 1,970 reviews
A favorite of windsurfers, the beach has fine white sand and beautiful views of St. John and offshore cays, and offers excellent snorkeling at the reef to the east, near Pettyklip Point.

With many great beaches to choose from I would say Sapphire and Megans were my favorite in our 7 nights on St Thomas - we stayed at the Sapphire Beach Resort for 4 nights and having this beauty right in front of us was a blessing :) We did try some other beaches but this one packs everything great in one like no other in St Thomas - you have a nice beach bar and a great coffee/breakfast place on the spot, plenty of shade, peaceful water and soft sand, good for sunsets (despite being on the side) and the chickens/iguanas roaming around - it's the real Caribbean deal :) TIP: it's a free beach and appears to be part of the condo/resort area but it welcomes visitors as well so don't be shy, otherwise you will miss out on something great!

This tranquil and uncrowded beach is ideal for windsurfing, snorkeling, sailboarding or for simply watching the sailboats go by.

We stayed here for 6 weeks and hated to leave! The beach is clean, uncrowded, and quiet. The water is crystal clear with a mild surf (unless a storm's on the way). There's good snorkeling off either point of the horseshoe shaped bay--barracuda, squid, rays, conch, fish galore (even once a lion fish), an occasional green turtle, lobsters, urchins, etc. The Lanai restaurant is right at the beach offering food/drinks all day. The Lime Tree pool bar is open to the public as well and serves sandwhiches, snacks and drinks. There's also a small store featuring "essentials" such as snacks, packaged foods, microwave friendly dinners, souvenirs, and of course various types of rum. The Aquamarine Beach Hut can outfit you with snorkel gear, kayaks, paddle boards, shirts, and other beach items in case you forgot something.

Beach between Wyndham Sugar Bay Beach Club and the Sapphire Beach Resort

Any time you pay to get into a beach you know it is well kept (or much more so than other public beaches). So is the case with Lindqvist Beach. The $5 entrance fee and $2 parking fee are nothing when you don't have to worry about broken bottles under your feet or trash everywhere. I cam for the snorkeling and was able to see a good amount of fish, a couple turtles and a southern ray. I would say a good day for a beach without a coral reef. The beach was nice, not crowded (thanks to the entry fee) and not loud. Very relaxing. And I am always very grateful for a place to rinse my feet before getting back into my car. Make sure you bring your own snacks and water, and of course your own reef safe sunscreen!
