A mile-long heart-shaped bay between two green ridges.
Magens Bay is in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, on the Atlantic coast.
Magens Bay is a mile-long curve of sand on the north side of St. Thomas, held between two green ridges that shelter it from most open-ocean swell. Non-residents pay a per-person admission plus a vehicle fee, and the beach has restrooms, showers and food on site. It is one of the few beaches Coasti covers with a NOAA tide gauge in the bay itself.
