点评:We’ve been to St. Thomas numerous times over the past few decade and a half, but this was our visit to this beach. It’s a very nice, natural beach without all the crowds and locals preying on tourists.
We paid under $40 for parking and beach fees for 5 adults (adults are anyone over 13 years of age), which is reasonable. The beach is part of a nature preserve, which keeps the beach looking great and well maintained. They have you pay at the front gate, then you can drive up to the beach, drop off your gear, then park back by the gate and walk 2 minutes back to the beach.
The beach is narrow, but it’s long and has nice shade from the mangrove trees. Probably the only complaint I’d have is that there was a lot of dead sea grass/vegetation in the water and on the beach. The dark spots in the water of our photos were clumps of grass. Workers were raking the beaches earlier in the day to clear the beaches, and it wasn’t a distraction. But the grass was pretty heavy the day we were there. We didn’t go too far from the along the beach for snorkeling, but the sandy beaches and heavy sea grass were not ideal for underwater visibility. I’d suggest walking to the east end of the beach closer to the rocky point if you want to snorkel.
We didn’t visit any of the food or drink establishments, but I believe they had some options available later in the afternoon (after 2pm?). They also offered chairs and umbrellas for sale, but we were fine with the natural shade.
Most of the people on the beach were families. The water and waves were pretty tame, but the waves are slightly more than a lot of other St. Thomas beaches, but nothing to discourage families.
Glad we checked out this old school gem of a Carribean beach.
翻译:过去十五年,我们去过圣托马斯很多次,但这次我们只去了这片海滩。这是一个非常美丽的天然海滩,没有那么多拥挤的人群,也没有当地人掠夺游客。
我们五个成人(成人是指13岁以上的人)的停车费和海滩费不到40美元,价格合理。这片海滩属于自然保护区,这使得海滩保持着美丽的外观和良好的维护。他们会要求你在前门付款,然后你可以开车到海滩,放下装备,再把车停在门口,步行2分钟回到海滩。
海滩很窄,但很长,红树林的树荫很好。我唯一想抱怨的可能是海水和沙滩上有很多死海草/植被。我们照片里海水里的黑点就是草丛。当天早些时候,工人们正在耙沙滩清理海滩上的积水,但这并没有分散我们的注意力。但我们去的那天,海草很茂密。我们没有沿着海滩走太远去浮潜,但沙滩和茂密的海草不利于水下视野。如果你想浮潜,我建议你步行到海滩东端靠近岩石点的地方。
我们没有去任何餐饮场所,但我相信下午晚些时候(下午2点以后?)他们会提供一些餐饮选择。他们也出售椅子和遮阳伞,但我们觉得自然的阴凉就好。
海滩上的大多数人都是家庭。水流和海浪都比较平缓,但比圣托马斯其他的海滩要稍微大一些,但这并没有阻止家庭游客。
很高兴我们来到了这片加勒比海滩上的经典瑰宝。
