Magens Bay, Saint Thomas (U.S.V.I.)

For those who enjoy a great beach, Magens Bay probably is on a bucket list. It's been called one of the great beaches of the world by those who keep track of such things. Who am I to disagree, if if this photo is as close as I got to it? It does look rather nice

Still, it's a beach, and this was as close as we came to it. There's a fee to get in, and it contains the usual washrooms, changing areas and a bar. I have read that the place becomes quite crowded when the cruise ships mount up in the port, sending crowds of tourists this way. But this probably was a quiet day, which was a good break for those who got a much closer look at it.

The reviews seem to be rather mixed. If you can put up with the inconveniences and concentrate on the actual beach, you'll probably enjoy a world-class area.
