    Cane Bay Beach - My SO returning from his dive

    This is a nice beach on the island's North Shore. Parking here can get pretty tight. There is no…read moredesignated lot. I had to find a spot on the side of the road. The beach has chair rentals and a boat ramp, but I am not sure if the ramp is operational. It is not a very large beach. I would say it is between a quarter to a half of a mile long. It has white sand and beautiful warm blue water. In addition to sitting out in the sun, you can snorkle, scuba dive or equus horseback ride (ride a horse in the water). They tout scuba divers being able to dive the world famous Wall, which is an area about 150 yards from the shore the depth goes from 35 feet to over 3,000 feet. The beach has access to some nice waterside bar and grills such as Leatherback Landing and Spratnet Beach Bar & Grill. On weekend they have a band out there that jams. Speaking of weekends. This beach can get a bit crowded. While I was there, there was a a large gathering of locals having a good old picnic. It looked like they were having a great time. This is one of the few designated beaches on the North Shore. It is a very low key and laid back place. It is a great time for all. I recommend checking this beach out, doing some of their fun activities and getting a good bite to eat and a savory tropical drink.

    What a great STX beach!!! It is in front of Sweet Bottom…read moreDive Shop which is awesome. Great people. There's also The Landing restaurant which is one of our favorites on island! The sand is nice. Great for snorkeling and even better for diving. Walk in, swim out a bit and you are at a 1000 ft wall. Amazing!

    Magens Bay , a place so beautiful it feels like a Caribbean postcard come to life…read more This famous crescent beach on Saint Thomas stretches nearly three-quarters of a mile, tucked between green hills that naturally block the Atlantic swells. That's why the water is so unbelievably calm and clear the kind of crystal blue where you can watch fish glide beneath you while you float or stretch out in the sun. But there's a little history beneath all that beauty. Centuries ago the Taíno people lived along these shores, and legend says the notorious sea rogue Sir Francis Drake once used this peaceful bay to hide ships while waiting to ambush Spanish treasure fleets sailing through the Caribbean. Today it remains protected as a public park a perfect curve of white sand and glassy turquoise water where travelers come to swim, sunbathe, and for a moment... live the lifestyle of the rich and famous.

    We didn't realize you had to pay to enter. $7 per person plus $2 for parking. We only planned on…read morestaying an hour or so but still paid so we could see the beach. We walked from one end to the other which was a nice way to people watch and enjoy the white sand and blue water. We were there on a Sunday and it was crowded. Parking was easy to find. It was quite lovely. The water was calm. Wish we would have had more time to swim and relax here.

    Calling all adventurers, calling all adventurers. This Lighthouse is an historic one that dates…read moreback to 1915, when the Island was under the rule of the Danish Government. It has severely deteriorated over the years, but is still a sight to see. The lighthouse is rusted out, has pieces that have fallen off and is severely corroded. Getting back to the lighthouse is slightly challenging. There are some huge potholes, which only get more challenging when it rains because they fill up with water and it becomes impossible to measure their depth. The closer you get to the lighthouse, the worse the road gets. There is tons of parking at the trail head located at the perimeter gate of the old abandoned National Guard complex. It is marked by a bright blue pallet. One thing to keep in mind is that this parking is known for vehicle break-ins, so do not leave any valuables in your vehicle Now the trail is all accent, heading towards the lighthouse. And there are some very steep points. I took me about 15 minutes to get up to the lighthouse. I would suggest wearing a hat and bringing some water with you on the hike, even though it is not long. It is very, very, very steep. The view from the lighthouse is very nice. It does get a little breezy up there, which I welcomed with open arms. You can go inside of the lighthouse and take two ladders up to the top. That was awesome. If you do that though, be very careful. The inside, including the stairs and floor, have corroded through and are very weak. They were strong enough to support my 250 pound frame, but I will admit, I was very scared. There are a few trails past the lighthouse that you can take to keep the party going. But I had no idea where they led and was not feeling dangerous that morning. Of course the way back was easier, since it was all down hill. But not as easy as I thought. I could imagine the trail being very tricky after a rain, making it very slippery and difficult to navigate both ways. This attraction has a lot to offer. You get a decent hill workout, you get some history, you get a miraculous view of the island's coast. I spent about 30 minutes at the lighthouse and enjoyed every minute of it. I highly recommend checking this site out.
