So in our cabin on the ship, they kept broadcasting this beach as a place to visit so I added it to the list to check out on our adventure day in Saint Thomas. We get our rental right off the ship and head on our way. It's early in the day(~10am local time) so with how many folks are on our boat, my expectations were that this beach would be busy but... surprisingly, there were only a few other couples there so we had this absolutely stunning beach pretty much to ourselves. I immediately get my snorkeling gear out and jump in the water. There were schools of baby permit jacks everywhere and they'd swim right up to you and even play with you while your back was turned. It was pretty exciting. There was a local there and he was laughing with us because I simply didn't expect the whole they are touching me experience(that admittedly may have cause me to squeal in excitement). The water was pristine. Almost dream like. I really feel like this beach was one I will dream about for decades. Just a prefect place to spend time. The folks working here were super nice as well. It was $16 to park in the lot and make the 500' walk to the beach. Plenty of shaded areas right off the beach. A few picnic tables and chairs. Even have a lifeguard which would be nice if we had smaller kids.
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. We saw quite a few chickens and a few iguanas, which was entertaining. 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. There was a lifeguard on duty for part of the afternoon. Also, there were bathrooms and showers on the premises, which is a plus. Glad we checked out this old school gem of a Carribean beach.
Beautiful low key beach with minimal people. There is a $5 fee per person to enter this beach. The waters are so clear and is a perfect area to go snorkeling. In these waters there are turtles , pufferfish, stingrays, jellyfishes, lobster , squid which all can be seen while snorkeling . There are picnic tables and plenty of shade areas also a lifeguard on site who is extremely knowledgeable about this area. We had the pleasure of meeting Jellani who told us where was the best area to snorkel. Definitely recommend this beautiful beach. Make sure to bring snacks, food, and drinks as this site does not have any food trucks or restaurants on site. Also we did not see any taxis parked nearby. Guessing because it's a low key beach, so make sure to arrange a ride or have a taxi cab number on you when you're done.
My favorite beach in St. Thomas. It's quiet. There's plenty of shady spaces to set up your chairs, blankets or towels. They also have picnic tables. Only a small section is rocky. The rest is smooth. The water is shallow and you can snorkel nearby. We did see a small shark near the shoreline, but no one was scared. They have a $5 per person entrance fee and $2 parking fee. If you're a veteran the parking fee is waived. Parking is a less than 5 min walk to the beach, but you can drive your car up to the beach to drop off your belongings. They have clean bathrooms and showers available. Lounge chairs are available for rent.
Lindquist Beach was just what the doctor ordered - the crowds when we were there were miniscule compared to the Chaos we encountered at Magens Bay. Tip: Pristine conditions like those found here come with trade-offs; Megens has amenities (like equipment rentals and beach bars) while Lindquist doesn't. On the upside, over and above the beautiful, uncluttered beach and the crystal clear water, the shower facilities and restroom here are much better than those at Megens. There's great snorkeling right off the beach, where we saw a plethora of fish and coral; we even saw in Iguana wandering around next to the parking lot ;-)
Gorgeous Beach! The water is crystal clear and has a nice blue color. This beach is great to relax and enjoy the view. Snorkeling is not as good as Coki Beach. However there were a couple of turtles swimming. The entrance to the beach cost $5 per person older than 12 years old. Parking cost $2. It has nice restrooms and shower facilities. There are lifeguards. You need to bring your own chairs and umbrellas. I believe this beach is part of a natural reserve. There are trees along the shore where you can set yourself up and protect yourself from the sun. There are picnic tables which are very helpful if you bring your lunch. There are no vendors. You need to bring your own food and drinks. This is a beach that you definitely need to visit.
You have to pay to get in, but it is worth it if you stay for a couple hours. Beach is mostly in direct sunlight and they will charge you $5 per chair. We sat on our towels the whole time and were fine, I wouldn't waste your money on the chairs. There are nice bathrooms and showers. Little fish surround the shallow water and they are really fun to watch. View of the sea is amazing and would recommend visiting.
Also known as Smith Bay Beach, Lindquist is one of two St Thomas beaches that you must pay to enter ($5 per person, $2 per car). I have no issues with paying to enjoy a pristine and gorgeous beach but in doing so here I couldn't help but compare it to the other pay-to-play St. Thomas beach, Magen's Bay. At Lindquist you can drive down to the beach to unload your car but to park it you must return to a central parking lot. It's a short walk but an inconvenience and I prefer the Magens Bay arrangement, where I can park my car once and unload right there. Unlike Magen's, there are no chaise lounges for rent, no umbrellas for rent, no snorkel gear either. There's no food for sale, no beach babes taking your boozy drink order, and no lifeguards (during my visit). The beach was clean but one section of the water had a mass of Sargassum Seaweed. The part that came ashore was being diligently removed by paid workers but there's not much they can do when that stuff takes over the water. So why would anyone prefer this beach over Magen's? Some people just like quieter, emptier places and this is that. As I swam in the water, pelicans dive-bombed close enough to me to elicit surprised laughter. They're very active here and you're just a small obstacle that they must work around. As a result, this beach seems perfect for birders (those who like to observe or photograph). There's little shade here and even fewer people and, though you can snorkel here, the water was a bit churned up on my visit and unsuitable for good snorkeling. Lindquist is so different from Magen's that it really comes down to personal preferences. For the money, I prefer Magens Bay but if you like your beaches quiet and mostly uninhabited, and if you enjoy watching pelicans, Lindquist will be your happy place.
So this beach is one of those secrets that is no longer one, thanks to Trip Advisor and Yelp, which is great for us visitors, and not so much for the locals. If you're looking for a low key no frills place, with basic facilities that are relatively well maintained, no rentals, and don't mind it that there is no food or drinks served here, you'll be ok. Our favorite beaches on St. Thomas, are Magens Bay and Morning Star, for the opposite of all the reasons just stated in the last sentence, but its game over for both beaches if a cruise ship is docked. Yes, it is annoying that you have to pay to access beaches here. I'm from Hawaii, and we don't pay to access any beach out there. It's almost criminal because nature should be free to all, but, those fees do help to maintain the beaches and facilities. Its $2 for a car, $4 for non residents, and $2 for residents. The trick to this place is to go after 5pm and its free. Bring a bottle of wine with you, find a good spot away from the picnic tables, and you'll find that you'll actually get a decent amount of sunlight in and get the watch the sunset. Another plus is that you won't have to deal with the crowds, as most are already packing up for the day. This spot lost a star, due to no food & beverage near by, and the parking lot is a hike to the actual beach. Depending on the time of year, and I still haven't figured this one out for sure, but it looks like the summer months, this beach and all others on the south eastern side get attacked by seaweed, which makes for a creepy snorkeling experience. Every other second you're under water, "something" touches or wraps around you. But, this beach has some of the best views of the Cays, St. John and in the distance BVI. This place is just another reason of why #lifesabeach in St. Thomas.
So I want to say that the beach itself is awesome. Crystal clear water, plenty of space to spread out and nice restrooms and showers. No bar or restaurant service however. Decent snorkeling. The reason for the low rating is the gate worker. She was extremely rude and hateful. They offer a veteran discount for fee parking, which is $2. If you're a veteran it's waived. However when we told the lady one of the men in our group was a US Army veteran she became very hostile and argumentative. She then denied waiver of parking because our veteran wasn't "driving" and only a passenger. She was a disgrace to her employer. Pitiful.
Hidden inside Lindquist Beach, part of the peaceful shoreline of Smith Bay Park, is one of those rare places on Saint Thomas where the crowds seem to disappear. The sand stretches out wide and pale, the water sits calm and glassy, and the trade winds drift through the sea grapes like a quiet whisper. It's the sort of beach where time slows down, where you spread out a towel, listen to the gentle surf, and realize you've stumbled into a corner of the Caribbean that still feels wonderfully untouched. I remember being here with my wife somewhere between the warm sun and that impossibly blue water, the day turned quietly romantic. We wandered down the beach laughing, the breeze tugging at her hair, and at one point she reached for my hand and pulled close enough that the world seemed to shrink to just the two of us and the sound of the tide. We lingered there a while, wrapped in the moment, the kind of simple, sun-soaked memory that makes a place feel a little magical long after you've left the sand behind. read more

Despite the gecko's and roaming rooster, this was a lovely, quiet beach to visit with the right amount of people. It was not over crowded and the staff was very helpful and friendly during our stay. You get the right amount of sun and blue waters. read more

This beach was very lovely, and the seaweed isn't too bad. Beautiful water and easy parking. read more
We were told by locals and family members not to come here; that it was not worth it and it was boring. Well I'm glad we ignored the naysayers and came because we had a blast. The water is stunning and one of the top 3 on the island in my opinion. The sand is white and pristine and soft. We got here at 1030 am and had the luxury of picking where we wanted, and the "crowd" didn't arrive until about 1230- even so, there weren't more than 25 people on the whole beach the entire day we were there. Facilities are great. They also offer snorkeling gear to rent and you have to do it- there are sea turtles here!! I was lucky enough to swim with three. Not as many fish for viewing as other waters, but enough to make you happy. Several iguanas and other similar creatures were hanging out on the trees by our table. There are tables here that you can use but not too many. BYOB and food, and don't get s#!tfaced like the one group did next to us on the beach- park police removed them since they were causing a scene. Come here! It's worth the $5 entrance fee and $2 parking fee. read more

One of my favorite beaches on St Thomas. Plenty of room, usually no crowd. Usually calm and great for snorkeling. read more
Also known as Smith Bay. A beautiful, well kept beach with bathroom facilities and foot showers. It costs to get in and also to park. I found it strange they did not let you park near the beach, but instead at the parking lot a ways from the actual beach. The views of St. John, the surrounding cays and the BVI were beyond breathtaking. Definitely one of the more beautiful views here on the island, given the distant location. The downside is that it was quite a bit more rocky in certain areas which I wasn't anticipating. In addition to that, there was loads of seaweed in the ocean or something that wasn't very desirable to walk on or through in the shallow areas. It made for pretty pictures from afar, but I found myself constantly trying to avoid the massive seaweed farms. We did some snorkeling here, but there wasn't much variety to see. There were lots of fish following me around, which at first I found cute and then just plain ANNOYING. I'm talking dozens, and not small fish. I know they don't harm you, but they certainly know how to bug you! A couple other possible downsides were the lack of businesses on the beach. No restaurant, no bars, nowhere to rent anything. It could be seen as a positive or negative I suppose. I loved that it was very quiet, few patrons, and we witnessed a pair of ladies exchanging vows on the beach. If you're looking for a smaller beach with few added obstructions of the natural beauty, this is it. read more

This is my favorite beach on the island. Non-resident: $5 adults, Children Free Resident: $2 adults, Children Free Parking: $2 Free before or after business hours 8am-5pm You have to park in a lot and walk, but if you have a lot of stuff to unload, you can drive up to the picnic tables and unload. Sand is white and water is very clear. When heading down to the beach after the entrance, you can turn left or go straight. Make sure you turn left. The left side isn't rocky like the other side, and you see less seaweed. Restrooms, showers and foot baths are available, and the facilities are actually relatively new. As mentioned before, picnic tables are available. Lots of shade from trees covering the tables. Glass containers are not allowed. You can take a BBQ pit. A lifeguard is on duty during business hours 8am - 5pm. You commonly see fish and stingrays at this beach. read more

This beach was fantastic and not crowded at all. The sand was soft and the waves were calm and there were rays swimming around. My family couldn't get enough of this beautiful beach!! read more
Date of Visit: April 2013 What a hidden gem on St. Thomas, and despite a lack of amenities from a conventional standpoint, quietly breathtaking. A few notes: Location: 3 out of 5 Located on the east end of St. Thomas, you'd almost miss the beach if you didn't know to look for a fairly nondescript sign that just says either "Smith Bay Park" or "Lindquist Park" on the side of the road. The actual road leading up to the beach is well maintained, and if you get there early enough during the day, you don't have to pay an admission fee, woo hoo! Amenities: 2 out of 5 Bare bones, man. There's a porta potty for men, and a porta potty for women. No real bathroom, no showers, no changing stalls, and I think the only sign of food or drink I saw was a little shack that was closed that proudly read, "Cold Water and Beer!" Of course - this prevents the more touristy folk from coming in droves, and that's fine with me. I had a lovely time, and I encountered 2 other people that day. One was running along the beach, the other was an older lady swimming in the water. Tranquility and Ambiance: 5 out of 5 A truly through the roof 5 out of 5. If you know where to go (pssst, take a left right when you get in), it's awesomely quiet and peaceful there. There are a few tables for picnics, but other than that, the trees provide nice shade and cover from the rains. Accessibility: 5 out of 5 Not a metric that I usually use, but my fiance broke her ankle in January of 2013 and was on the mend in late April. It was nice that the actual beach part was very close to the parking lot. Well, when I say lot, I really mean "dirt lot with no lines or marked spaces", but that's just as well for me. Overall: an objective 4 out of 5 (but a biased 5 out of 5) The lack of amenities may dissuade some of you from going, which is just as fine for me, since it means more space for my wedding in 2014. Heh heh.. Honestly - I'd prefer Lindquist over Magen's any day of the week. If the access to food is an issue, the Red Hook area is not that far of a drive. read more

This beach is really peaceful, and you can see several different islands from here. There was barely anyone else there when my family went in late May. The snorkeling is good (I saw two sea turtles), and we also saw several iguanas just above the beach area. There is also a bathhouse, which is nice. If peaceful is what you're looking for, this is the place to be in St. Thomas! read more

One of St. Thomas best kept secret, as not too many tourists know about this secluded beach. After swimming with the turtles, we hopped onto a taxi bus and asked to be taken to this spot. As we drove up to the entrance, a women sitting in a chair stopped us. She said the we had to pay $4.00 to enter and the taxi bus could not go any further. We had to walk the rest of the way (only cars are allowed to drive through). As we were walking into the park there are no signs marking the dirt road that winds its way through a grove of coconut palms and thick sea grape trees only a rooster and some local contractors that were busy building what look liked vacation houses. Sure, we got some stares from them and for a moment I felt like we were going to be kidnapped or stepping into a sand trap (I watch too many scary movies). We did not have to walk long until we saw an opening to enter the beach, and just like a scene from a movie, there was the beach with its white sand and turquoise blue water shining in the sun! There were only about half a handful of people on the beach, all spread out along the shore. We found a nice spot and set up for a nice afternoon in the sun. This beach does not have huge waves instead; there are nice ripple effects that come in. It is mellow enough to go out and just float on your back. At first, the water was somewhat warm but walking a little bit more out and it was perfect! Crystal clear water, which is nice instead of that disgusting murky water we have to settle for at our beaches. It is so peaceful and quiet that I took a small nap while laying out (no sunburns here). A quick FYI if you need a taxi bus back to the city or to your ship, they do not stop in the park, you will have to walk out of the park and hail it from the side of the road. When it was time to head back into the city it only took us less than five minutes to catch a bus. read more

Lindquist or rather Smith Bay Beach is the name of this great hidden beach, highly recommended by locals. It will not be hidden for much longer since they are doing construction and will be charging entrance fee very soon. I believe $2.00 per person. We enjoyed our time under the palm trees, surrounded by chickens, iguanas, lizards, ducks, chicks and friendly local folks. The water is very clear and we were surrounded by a few whilte/black fish that loved to swim around us the entire time. We also spotted a small sting ray in the distance. We saw a few folks with snorkeling gear. This beach will be a little difficult to find right away, like mostly any beach on St. Thomas. Once you pass Sugarbay Resort turn onto the 2nd street to the left (AFTER YOU PASS Ace Warehouse) - there will be some constructions but just drive through it and you will see the beach. Otherwise, there is a smaller, less paved street right before that leads to the beach as well.. Pack a cooler with drinks and snacks, because there is nothing of that sort for sale here and enjoy your day in the sun. read more
