Consistently ranked among the world's top beaches, Magens Bay offers arguably the most photogenic stretch of shore available on the Virgin Islands. The sugary sands and calm waves on the northern coast of Saint Thomas invite you to swim, kayak, and paddleboard. Visually appealing from every angle, the charming coastal spot enjoys the protection of its surrounding park, which offers organized camping and encompasses swathes of mangroves and wetlands. The park also contains several rental venues designed to host weddings, family parties, and other private events. The beach itself boasts picnic tables, food vendors, changing facilities, and several outfits renting water-sport equipment.

  • I love this place. I visited about 15 years ago and it is still absolutely stunning. The locals are all wonderful people. I didn't have any food but the water is clear and the beach is clean. Views...

  • Beautiful Beach with clear calm waters. You can walk the full length for exercise or just people watch. Chairs and umbrellas for rent There is a bar and restaurant. Food is pricey but it’s all that.....  more

  • Beautiful, accessible beach on St. Thomas...and a great stop if you are looking for something to do on shore during a cruise stop. It is very easy to take a group taxi over to the beach, and there is plenty of taxis around to take you back. The beach is pretty long with plenty of space. There is also some stores and facilities around for drinks and stuff. It is a National Park and costs $5 to enter
  • The water is super clear here!!! It rained a bit but only when we were about to leave. The sand is super soft like mashed potatoes and it was the perfect mix of shade and sun. The water was cold because it was overcast but lovely beach. Not busy at all and we went on a Sunday.
