Amenities and Ambience

Because Lindquist Beach is a great secret on St. Thomas, its best feature, apart from the perfect setting, is its probable seclusion. Swim in the diamond waters, snorkel the nearby reefs, or just sit back on the beach and let time go by. Bring everything you will need for the day, for there are no facilities at this unspoilt haven.

The amount of people on the beach depends on several things, like the time of year and day of the week. Some of the Virgin Islands' beaches may rarely be crowded, while others are often crowded particularly when the season is at its peak. When planning a beach outing a key factor to consider may be the size of the crowd you'll encounter. While some like a crowded beach with plenty of people and activity, some prefer to just hear the sounds of the surf.

Like so many places in the Virgin Islands this beach has its own personality which will appeal to some visitors more than others. The special qualities of this beach are somewhat different from what is offered at the other beaches in the Virgin Islands. This relatively unknown beach stays pretty empty of visitors to its shores, except for a few who know its secret and come here for seclusion.
