Looooong STT layover ....

We will be flying VI Airlink from Anegada to STT on Friday 3/1. We land at STT at 9:30 am but our flight home out of STT doesn’t leave till 2:30. Any thoughts on where or how to pass the time? Im dreading the thought of spending that long at the airport.

Breakfast at Hook Line and Sinker.

I second Hook Line and Sinker. Thanks for the tip NC Sailor. We’ve hung out there our last three trips after your recommendation.

Upstairs at The Petite Pump Room at the ferry dock..they will store your bags before they take you to the airport. Hoping " Hook , Line and Sinker" has got better..loved the old place..not the new version so much.

Since you’re landing at STT , maybe walk to Emerald beach resort. You could eat and the beach is pretty. We walked from the airport so maybe you could either store your bags with VI airlink or maybe there are lockers. If you’re light packers, it’s not a bad walk.

don't think HLS opens until 11am except Sunday brunch
The restaurant at Emerald Beach is much closer, is a pleasant place to pass time.

You could catch a cab into town. Perhaps go to the Green house for lunch and walk the cruise ship shopping street behind the restaurant..

Head to Greengos for the best margaritas and Mex food anywhere for lunch

Does anyone know if there’s lockers or luggage storage at the STT airport?
We’ve stayed at Emerald Beach in the past - didn’t really care for their food but the beach is pretty. Wonder if we’d need to buy a day pass to use the beach and restrooms?

I don't know about the lockers, but we have killed time at Emerald Beach many times. They have always let us use the pool and amenities for no charge, but we always have asked first and kept a low profile.

Most times we order food, sit in the bar and kill time that way. And we always have drug our luggage along (and you will not be the only ones doing that).

Much as we enjoy Emerald Beach know that they are now bussing in cruise ship people ( no resort charge) and they really impact the place. I believe the info is right about " Hook Line and Sinker" opening for lunch..decent breakfast always at "The Petire Pump " room until 10.30.and they have Lox and Bagels!

Breakfast is available at Frenchtown Deli -- or Tickles in Crown Bay from early morn.
Ashleys at the airport entrance has good local fare - a short walkable spot acrooss from the parking lot.
There are NO lockers at the airport - [or any airport I have been to in the USA]
If there is a cruise ship or 2 at the Crown Bay Port ----- Emerald Beach Resort will be a circus.
