Now that you have decided to do a photo session with Crown Images, your first question will be: “Where is the best beach for photos on St. Thomas?” If you are anything like me, you will want to know all your options to help you find the perfect fit.

Here are my 4 favorite beaches for photos on St. Thomas:

Magens Bay Beach

Magens Bay Beach is located on the north side of the island and is the largest beach on the island. I normally go to the left side of the beach for privacy in the evenings and more central in the morning. Magens is stunning in the morning and almost never has any seaweed. This location is awesome if you are going to spend the day at the beach after photos, they rent chairs and have a beach bar. Magens does charge a small entrance fee. The next two slideshows are of Magens, the first one was taken in the morning and the second slideshow is in the evening.

Sapphire Beach

I always recommend Sapphire Beach if you would like something more than just the beach for photos. This area has a palm tree area, that offers the perfect amount of shade for sensitive eyes and Pretty Klip Point with an epic view of the other islands, the point can be really windy. Sapphire Beach does get seaweed during the summer months and can have a lot of wind during the winter months.

Lindquist Beach

I think Lindquist Beach is the prettiest beach on St. Thomas. It has the clearest water and the whitest sand. This beach is located on the east side of the island, it is a small beach, and photographs well any time of day. This beach is normally windy (something to consider for your hair in photos) and does get seaweed during the summer months. This beach has a small entrance fee.

Secret Harbour Beach

This sweet little beach is located on the east side of the island. It has a small resort on it and a restaurant called Sunset Grill. This beach is ideal if you are looking for a beach without wind, which is nice for your hair to stay in place but can also feel much warmer. Secret Harbour Beach is also wonderful for a surprise proposal since it has the restaurant right on the beach. The next two slide shows show the lighting in the morning and evening.
