A versatile destination, Sapphire Beach on St. Thomas offers an idyllic spot to rest and relax, as well as engage in water sports. Lined with sea grape trees, the beach offers a thick shade and silky white sand. Swim or snorkel near the rocky cliff on the right side of the beach, where shallow water ensures good visibility of a coral reef. Rent wind surfing gear, kayaks, and jet skis, try parasailing, or get a snack from the bar and grill.

    I don't love a busy beach but the snorkeling was very good here. Saw sea turtles and spotted eagle rays.

    Great snorkeling beach! Saw sea turtles and lots of fish. Love the bars and cute gift shops at the resorts. Make sure you get there early since it's a smaller beach.
