Just past Trunk Bay on St. John. This is another lovely beach, a little bigger and less crowded than neighboring Trunk Bay. You can rent chairs and watersports equipment and there's a restaurant for lunch.

Traveler advice
What to pack
St. Thomas is very casual. Leave the fancy stuff at home.
No need for high heels or long slacks. Even the nicest restaurants accept men in (nice, walking type) shorts and flip-flops, and a casual sun dress/sandals is fine for women.
What to pack
Only reef friendly sunscreen is allowed.
Just buy it in stores here. The kind they sell is the kind that is allowed. The coffee shop and boutique both sell it at Sapphire Beach.
