10Best Says

The most highly awarded and flaunted beach in St. Thomas, it attracts locals and tourists alike to its coved, sandy shores within the verdant embrace of St. Thomas' famously scenic hillsides, below the Drake's Seat overlook. It is also one of the island's most developed beaches. Complete amenities make it an all-around perfect spot for water sports, picnicking, sunbathing, or just people-watching. Concessions feed appetites for beach food, beer, kayaking, beach lounging and other sandy pursuits. On weekends, the locals come to party, so head early to the fringe areas if you are looking for peace and quiet. Sea grape trees and plenty of picnic tables line the fine white sand.
