We have just returned from a USVI-only trip that included an overnight in Magens Bay. There was a slight northeastern swell, but the depth of the bay helped to calm the water before it reached the anchorage. The day we were there (a Friday) was fairly crowded and managing anchoring was a little tricky for some that arrived later in the day. We were able to get a spot close enough to swim in and enjoy the beach. There is a nice little beach bar at Magens, but it does close at 5:00PM. Best of luck and enjoy!

Unless it changes all USVI Beaches including Magens only close at 4 pm on Sat - Sun and Holidays -- basically to prevent large gatherings late in the day on weekends.

We loved Magen's Bay and almost didn't go because of some negative reports we had read about Jet Skis and noise. It was very peaceful when we were there but just enough activity on the beach and at the bar/restaurant to not make you feel totally secluded. We were there on a Sunday. The bar/restaurant did close at 4:00 but by then we were ready to go back to the boat. If you anchor just off the swim buoys you can swim ashore. Do not try to paddle board right into the beach. They are very strict about any type of crafts accessing the beach besides from the far end (north side) of the beach and then you can unload but have to anchor your dinghy out. We suggest swimming ashore...much easier.
