We decided on Coki Beach because it is right next to Coral World where several of us had excursions booked in the afternoon. We hired Marley’s Tax Service to transport all of us. I was a bit disappointed as their equipment was a bit old. We arrived safely at Coki Beach and it was quite crowded. There is no admission to this beach. One thing I did not expect was that Marley’s dropped us off at one of the beach bars and we were met by a person and waitress to get us a spot on the beach. I am sure they have a deal worked out between them, but it did work well for us. We rented chairs ($5 ea) and umbrellas ($10 ea). Two or three chairs could easily fit under 1 umbrella. They set them up for us all together and we had a waitress the entire time we were there. This was the day we were going to go snorkeling. I had purchased full face snorkel masks prior to the cruise which we took along. One of my daughters rented a vest and flippers ($15) but ended up not using them much. The kids had an absolute blast. They saw a lot of fish and snorkeled through a school of zebra fish. This was their first time snorkeling. We left the beach at 1:00 pm to head over to Coral World. We walked down the beach and there were wooden stairs up to the entrance of Coral World. Coral World is a rescue and rehab center as well as an observatory/aquarium/ocean park with several aquatic pools and exhibits. They have a grill there so this is where we all grabbed something to eat. For about $10 you could get a burger, fries and a soft drink which I didn’t think was too bad of a price. My daughters and two of their cousins did the Turtle Encounter. It consisted of a brief educational talk and went through the safety of handling the turtles. I was pretty impressed with how the interaction went. The kids were not allowed to approach the turtles, but had to wait for the turtles to come to them which they did quite frequently. The kids all enjoyed this and said it was great. They were actually in the pool for the turtles for about 50 minutes. Some of the other nieces and nephews did the Sea Trek next to the underwater observatory. Observers could walk down a large spiral staircase to watch them. There was an abundance of fish. They also had a great experience with this and enjoyed it very much.

This was our favorite port. We went on a Sail and Snorkel to Buck Island. I recommend this excursion SO MUCH. We saw so many turtles! Our captain and his helper were amazing!

So thankful to see the repairs done, saddened to chat with the locals about how devastated the center of the island is. Loved seeing so many ships there support the economy! Go on over to Megan’s Bay - so beautiful! The “bar/snack bar” is gone but they have plenty of drink stations set up. Just beautiful and thankful we could do our part to help their economy!

I love this island! Megan’s bay is a little piece of heaven. Could stay all day if cruise ship wouldn’t leave without me. Blackbeard’s castle is something to see for the little bit of pirate in all of us. The town of Charlotte Amelie was very nice. Quaint stores and outdoor vendor market. Lovely way to spend a day.

MY FAVORITE PORT. Yes, we did the shopping, site seeing & beach excursion booked through cruise411 and we had a FABULOUS driver of our open air bus....ELVIS! He was AMAZING!!! THE BANANA DAQUIRIS WERE AMAZING!

Sonny Liston's Tours. We booked this online. They picked us up at the terminal. Dropped us off to go shopping for a bit. Back to the vehicle for sight seeing up the mountain. Many photo stops. Then dropped off at Sapphire Beach for some beach time. Then back to the ship. We liked this tour so much we went back 3 years later and did it again. We had Sonny as driver the first time and he brother the 2nd trip. Both were very entertaining and made the tour exciting. The pricing online was not that much for what we received.

This island was on my bucket list. It was different than I expected. I enjoyed Magens Bay. It was a little more crowded than I thought but I can see how it is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

Beautiful beaches, friendly people!
