Add my vote in, we were just married in February on this beach, it's
absolutely beautiful.

If you can stand the taxi drivers. Every damm one of them, from the
ship to Red Hook. Cruz Bay to Trunk Bay, Trunk Bay back to Cruz Bay,
Red Hook back to ship, held the cab 20 minutes till full. Moved half
the cab to another cab twice because they want to juggle destinations.
Cab rate is $8 to Red Hook. One tried to charge $10. If you go to
Sapphire Beach or Megans you get another two hours of beach time. Plus
it is only one of those shitty cabs each way. It's back to Sapphire
Beach next cruise I take that does St.Thomas.

For what you want I would suggest Sapphire Beach.
Make sure you feed the iguanas while there too.

I hate that. A couple of cruises back, I decided that any cabbie who
makes me wait until he is absolutely full, is not receiving any tip from
me. In Tortola there were 10 of us in a cab. The driver waited 1/2
hour to pick up number 11, even though we all promised to stiff him. He
lost out big time by waiting.
