Hull Bay

Hull Bay, on the north shore, just west of Magens Bay, which is overpopulated these days with cruise-ship passengers, is a nice alternative.  Surfers are attracted to the waves along the western tip of Hull Bay, and local St. Thomas fishermen anchor in the more tranquil strands.  Part of the beach is in shade.  Don't expect much in the way of watersports, but there is a combined restaurant and open-air bar.
