Creator's Key Takeaways
It's the perfect spot if you're looking for beautiful sand, clear water, and less crowds.
We were really impressed with the beach. The water was blue and clear, very similar to Megan's Bay.
It's a great alternative to Megan's Bay and it's a cheaper alternative as well.
If it's your first time in St. Thomas, go check out Megan's Bay. But for an alternative, check out Emerald Beach.
