Morningstar Beach — Attraction in United States Virgin Islands

This is a great little beach without the crowds and noise. Since the large hotel at the point was not yet open, we had this beach almost all to ourselves. It has great views of the St Croix on the horizon, and is located on a part of the island that has slightly bigger waves than many of the other nearby beaches.

Snorkeling on the left (east) side of the beach is pretty good, with some decent aquatic life. We went out beyond the point to the east, and saw lobsters, squid, urchins, and plenty of fish.

For the beach, I’d recommend water shoes did you have them. The entry to the beach is pretty rocky with shells and coral. After getting in a few feet past the beach, it’s very sandy.

The Sandbar and Salt Shack are nice places located along the beach that have food and drinks.

We were able to get parking in the kit behind the Sandbar, but with all of the construction, parking was limited. I believe taxis will drop off and pick up from the area behind the Sandbar.

This has been in of our family’s favorite beaches for years. We’re glad it’s still maintained and business is coming back to life after the hurricanes a...

This has got to be the best beach on St. Thomas but unfortunately until Marriott gets back up and running this place isn't really accessible to the public.

Yes you have the pretty scenic views of BVI and St. John from east side beaches and Magen's up north but you don't have to pay a fee to use this beach! I really hope that they are able to get this beach back up and running because it used to be one of my favorites. Also with the hotel facilities, cabanas, beach lounge chairs, food and beverage served on the beach and recreational equipment it was just so easy to spend all day here. The white silky sand without too much coral/rocks made this an awesome place to go for a sunny stroll.

Looking forward to this beach...

Lacking amenities (including restrooms and beach showers) unless you're staying at one of the two resorts. However, it is a quiet and somewhat less crowded beach. The restaurant is super expensive compared to other beach bars on St. Thomas. This is only "technically" a public beach. The public access point is pretty gross with a huge dumpster for the resort that drains into the entrance and smelled awful when we went in. The beach itself is nice enough once you get down there and we didn't pay for parking or entry.

If you aren't staying at Buoy Haus or Westin, would recommend the trip and $7/person fee...
