Lindqvist Beach, East End

Nice paid beach on the east side of the island. Snorkeling was the best here on st. Thomas for us. Saw turtles, more fish than anywhere thanks to the reef on the right side, and eagle rays both swimming and FLYING above the waves. They leap out of the water chasing fish or just wanting to take wing and fly away. Amazing. Really friendly attendants and lifeguards. Lots of space, picnic tables, and great facilities. This mega yacht dropped anchor just out of the bay. Look up the raising sun yacht and see a true luxury and famous people hangout. Tempted to swim on out to the beast and see about breaking bread with the upper crust. :) There was more choppy waves here than we’d generally experienced so that was a bit of an adjustment and the parking is a short walk up the hill from the beach. $5 a person for adults plus $2 to park. Worth it.

Gorgeous secluded beach away from tourists. Very peaceful and pristine. Some trash from past visitors but in doing your best effort to leave nothing behind you're able to ensure just as mesmerizing of an experience for others. Gates for entrance close at 5, the walk from the lot outside the gate isn't that far.
