Going to a wedding next month and will be staying at Marriot Frenchmen&amp;#39;s Reef on St Thomas. Any recommendation on places for a swim?
Thanks

It used to be listed on various lists (may still be).  You&amp;#39;ll recognize it because you&amp;#39;ve seen it in TV commercials.  It is U-shaped with trees on either side, but a short beach with palms hanging over the water.  An island in the middle at the top of the U would be great to swim out to.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Best beaches to swim St Thomas USVI</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/271494?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 23 Aug 2013 01:55:07 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:7aa4c471-0885-4aeb-9c1c-3f230f0caceb</guid><dc:creator>flystorms</dc:creator><description>Yes, but not on St Thomas!  Take the ferry ($6 or 8) over to St John for the day and swim the north beaches.  It&amp;#39;s beautiful over there!!  You can catch a cab/bus for next to nothing from the ferry dock to the nearby beaches too.  The beaches are gorgeous and the water is stunning.  Here&amp;#39;s a link to the map for the B2B race held every Memorial Day weekend that will show you which beaches to swim.  &lt;a href="http://www.friendsvinp.org/race-course-map"&gt;www.friendsvinp.org/race-course-map&lt;/a&gt;   

I guess if you had to go to St Thomas, though, Meghans Bay is probably the best swimming beach.  Long and square.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
