Has anyone been here or had their wedding here? We are considering this beach but I do not know much about it.

Melissa,

I was there in August for the annual Chili Cook Off event. Lots of fun on a beautiful beach.

I would not recommend Brewer's for a wedding. You are right across the bay from the airport and planes are landing and taking off all day long.

I would consider Magen's for the sheer beauty of the beach, but there are often lots of crowds. For more privacy and another gorgeous setting I recommend Lindqvist Bay at Smith Bay Park.

Thank YOU!! I had my concerns about the planes but I was told that they are not an issue until afternoon, I am planning an 11 a.m. wedding.. But I still wondered about that. Now is Lindqvist Bay at Smith Bay Park the public beach by the cruise ship docks? I really appreciate allyour input!

I really do not want Megans just because of how busy it is. I was looking for something a little quieter.

Melissa, all the beaches in the US Virgin Islands are public. I don't know one that is right near the cruise ship dock. The closest are on the Marriott properties, with a man-made one recently created for the new Marriott timeshare resort.

Lindqvist is on the east end of the island. The property has recently been bought by the USVI gov't and is being managed by the same group that manages Magen's Bay. There are fewer amenities on Lindquist, and also a lot fewer visitors. I'm sure as the improvements are made it will become more popular, but for now it's a beautiful, quiet almost pristine beach.

If you type "Lindquist St. Thomas" in youtube.com you can see a couple of videos taken there.
