Orient Beach is not going to happen in St.Thomas. It seems like each beach has it's own niche. Meagan's Bay is beautiful with facilities, but no snorkeling, sand bottom. Coki has excellent snorkeling, some shops, great smoothies, and pretty good food, Lindburg (closest to the ship) has those foot propelled jet things, don't know what they are called but the instructors do a lot better then the guests. Marriott has jet skis, and so many more great beaches.

TANDP: The beaches here are different from St Martin/Maarten. Most have maybe one hotel or condo with a restaurant/bar, not multiple outlets. Many have SUP, kayaks, Hobie cats, etc. as toys. Lindbergh does have flyboarding. The most lively beach is probably Coki. It has lots of local food and beverage options, snorkeling, diving.

The Danish were big on free ports, so buying and selling was a big deal. Yes, there is shopping. We would be happy if you spend your money here. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> What sort of beach fun are you looking for?

Swimming is at all beaches. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" /> Surfing is very weather dependent and is typically at Hull Bay when there is a swell. Parasailing used to be at most beaches, but now I believe has to be reserved in advance. PWC are mostly tours: Bolongo, Morning Star, Lindbergh, Coki, Sapphire Marina.

There are two cruise ship docks. Magens is probably 20 minutes away from Havensight, maybe a bit more from Crown Bay? The only watertoys at Magens are non-motorized, if that makes a difference.
