Is it an easy cab ride? Are there always cabs there to take one Back? How much should one expect to pay? Jimbo

Hi Jimbo,
Meagans Bay is in St. Thomas, and a 10 to 15 minute cab ride from the pier, many cabs there waiting to take you. On the way back you can get off and shop downtown if you want to..

Ah yes! St Thomas! Thank you

I used to live in St Thomas many years ago (my grandfather lived there; I just got to 'visit' for extended periods of time!) and I would recommend avoiding Megan's Bay. It is very, very touristy...too crowded, too commercialized... If you only have one day in St. Thomas, I highly recommend taking a ferry or sailboat to St John's. It is much more quiet, beautiful, and secluded... Just my opinion!

Very easy cab ride, $8 each way. Taxi's are regulated. About 20 mins from port to beach, over some nice mountains.

PS - Yes, there are a line of taxi's at the beach to take you back to the ship.

Even though it was years ago, having done both St. John and Magen's Bay and enjoyed Magen's Bay more. It was so beautiful.
