Magen's Bay, St Thomas




We saw everything at Coral World in less time than we expected, so we called Brenda and Franko to come and pick us up early. They had actually just arrived with other passengers, so after buying a few souvenirs in the gift shop, it was time to go. We had a few hours before we had to be back on board, so we asked for a short guided island tour. They agreed, and we were off. There was a cheesy song playing on the truck radio, over and over – apparently when they really like a song, they just set it on “repeat” and that’s what you get. For an hour.

Up mountains and down mountains we went, to several beautiful spots on the island.
We were very glad that we weren’t driving on those roads. Magen’s Bay was one of the first stops, and it was breathtaking. This is a bay that shows up on a lot of photographs of St. Thomas!
