We really liked this beach. The water is turquoise and the snorkeling is good. Some good food and drink to be brought to you as well. Just wish it wasnt so crowded. More

I visited Coki Beach during a recent trip to St. Thomas and was surprised at how much it’s changed in the year and a half I last visited. In a move to “clean” it up, St. Thomas revitalized the beach; but, it seems much worse now than what it was. It’s a local hangout for high school and people in... More

I visited Coki Beach several times while on St. Thomas. My buddy is a scuba-diving instructor and this location has one of the island's best and most accommodating dive shops. The staff is very friendly and help. Snorkel and scuba gear are available for rent here as is certified instruction. The water is clear enough that it is unusual not... More

Wonderful beach. If they would have swept the sea weed it would've been perfect. Take cash as the bar guys come out and serve some great fresh drinks... Beer, fruity drinks. One big warning is the use of drugs. If you have a problem being subjected to marijuana solicitation then I wouldn't recommend. Everyone was very friendly and overall we... More

Took my two grandkids to Coki Beach during our one week stay on St. Thomas. The beach is beautiful and the water visibility is excellent. Tons of colorful fish can be seen in fairly shallow water. Coki Beach has restrooms, a few small shops, food & beverage service, lounge chair/umbrella/snorkel equipment rental and lifeguards. The beach can get pretty crowded... More

We wandered into this beach as we heard it's snorkeling was not to be missed. Underwater views were lovely. Prepare to be harassed by locals for everything from food vendors to gear rental. Stick with Coral World booth for snorkel equipment if you have none. More

Coral World was fun, the beach was beautiful! We were going to rent jet skiis there, but they were pretty expensive, so we decided to go to Coral world instead. They have some great sites, and you can rent snorkel gear at the beach. More

If you are an experienced snorkeler or diver and love taking pictures of fish and coral, then this place is not for you. Coki Beach is a beautiful, small beach, but the snorkeling is less than average as compared to Roatan or Cozumel. I thought that the place was very safe and clean. The showers were minimal but still a... More
