Sapphire Beach is a favorite of windsurfers, located on the eastern side of St. Thomas, about a 20-minute drive from Charlotte Amalie. The beach has a long stretch of fine white sand and magnificent views of St. John, tiny offshore cays and – on a clear day – even neighboring St. John. At its eastern end, snorkelers can enjoy crystal-clear water with perfect visibility and rich marine life along the reef. There is a convenient watersports shack that rents out equipment for wind surfing, snorkeling, and sea kayaks. They also offer deck chair rentals. The beach is surrounded by dense sea grape trees that offer pleasant shade from the hot sun. Sapphire Beach Resort, Condos, and Marina are nearby.
