    This is a favorite beach of the locals. The water is peaceful, the beach is soft white sand, great view down island. The beach is now being privately managed and facilities are being built.

    On the advise of a local ,we went to this beach because that's where the local residents go to escape the crowds.In our opinion ,it was best beach on St. Thomas.'Peace and Quiet and beautiful' as my wife described in simple terms.. When we left ,we both were awestruck with this beautiful ,unheralded beach.There is construction going on to upgrade the available facilities which means there will be more people next year when we visit....not good.. but at least we can say we experienced the best beach on St. Thomas.

    This is a little hard to locate though they are working on better access and parking. It is a nice sandy beach with pretty good snorkeling. There are picnic tables available as well.

    You have to pay admission to get in, but it is much nicer and less crowded than most of the beaches in St. Thomas.

    We have been going to Lindquist Beach for eight years and this week, unfortunately, the cruise lines have discovered this tranquil beach. We arrived with numerous chaise lounges, trailer portable tiolets on the beach. Fifty cruisers arrived via taxi and overtook the end of the beach where we were sitting. Two hours later fifty more cruisers arrived and the original fifty departed.What a shame our little piece of heaven has been invaded.

    We tried Lindquist Beach for the first time in February. Although the amenities have not yet been developed, it is a wonderful place. Lots of shade, wonderful sand, clear water - and so far, not many people. AND easy parking.

    This is the third year we have enjoyed this low key beach on the northeast part of the island with soft gradual white sand and calm crystal clear turquoise water. Each year there is more progress in terms of improvements and appointments. The construction is slow, but it is now evident that the long term plan will include restrooms, changing rooms, and perhaps food vending. Right now, there is a paved parking lot, and a paved walkway down to the beach where there is a friendly person collecting $2 per person.The far west end (to the left) has apparently "first come, first served" chairs and this end features a sandy point overlooking a rocky beach with considerable wave action. If this can be navigated, there is about a ten foot drop with an abundance of fish and coral for a "National Geographic" snorkeling experience.The more protected east end (to the right) of the beach boasts of perfectly tranquil water, (even during the winter swells) suitable for children, soft white sand and a few picnic tables. The snorkeling is minimal, with some very "sociable fish" close to shore who seem to beg for food and are ready to demonstrate their disappointment by nudging undetecting swimmers and making them squeal with surprise. Albeit, this is a great place for beginner snorkelers to "get their feet wet", a perfect place to relax in the sun...also there is shade....and spend a day to remember in paradise with a good book, a hat, sun screen, and a towel.We noticed that every year there are more people escaping the cruise crowds of Coki and Megan Bay Beach.

    While everyone is at Megan's Bay and Coki Beach, Lindquist is sitting peacefully away from the hustle and bustle. I was there an entire morning/afternoon and there wasn't more then 20 people on the beach the entire time. There's not much there besides the sand and the water (and a porto-potty) but that's all you really need. Bring your snorkel gear and look into the water to find some really cool fish (baracuda, baby lobster hidden under rocks/coral, sea urchin, brittle starfish, etc). There is a colorful reef abotu 30 ft out, though I didn't make it out that far. This is a perfect hidden gem (I almost didn't want to write this review and spoil the tranquility of this beach but I couldn't resist it). I went to a few different islands and this was the best beach I went to!

    Loved the views from the left. I wanted to stare all day. Snorkeling is to the right and it had some adorable little fish to play with. Not as populated as the other beaches.

    The sand was white, the water was clear and it wasn't crowded. One of the most beautiful beaches we have ever been on.

    We stayed up the road on Sapphire Beach, which was nice, but nothing in comparison to Lindquist. There are no amenities and very little crowd, but that's how we like it! Truly a hidden gem.

    Lindquist was our go-to beach while my fiancé, myself and our families were vacationing in St. Thomas for our wedding. It's quiet, clean and you're surrounded by mostly locals. The white sand and clear blue waters were breathtaking. We actually got married on this beach, just before sunset. There were still some beach goers but they were respectful to steer clear of the wedding ceremony. It all made for a beautiful backdrop as we exchanged vows and later took pictures. There is a nominal fee per car, if the attendant is on duty when you drive up. But it's worth the couple of dollars. There were no public restrooms, and it seemed like a few gazebos were under construction, so maybe that is now available.

    This beach was amazing! We went twice. There's a $2 entrance fee per person. We went snorkeling, and it was awesome! The sand is so clean and the water was perfect. There's some shade to stay out of the sun, and a bunch of places to lay out as well. I highly recommend visiting this beach if able.

    While Magens Bay, and perhaps Coki Beach, is better known than Lindquist Beach, and excellent beaches indeed, Lindquist Beach is every bit as exceptional as the other two and our personal favorite. Lindquist, also known as Smith Bay Beach, is a long arc of soft, amazingly white sand along turquoise waters with an excellent, virtually unspoiled view as it looks out over a number of uninhabited cays. With the bay being more open to the sea, the waters here are not as protected and the surf and currents at this beach are significantly stronger than at the other beaches but not so much that it is a problem; in fact, now that our kids are teenagers, we preferred playing and splashing around in the bigger surf and swimming was no problem once one was out beyond the breakers which was not very far. The only facilities here, for the time being, are pit toilets and picnic tables scattered about in the shade along the tree line; this lack of development added to the charm of this beach but this is changing as additional facilities are being built which include bathhouses, a restaurant and I expect beach and snorkel gear equipment rentals similar to the other beaches. As a result of the development, most of the time there is someone collecting $2 per person to use the beach. I found the snorkeling here not to be all that special although I did see an incredibly huge hermit crab using a conch shell as a home and, a first for me, several cuttlefish. These intelligent and intriguing animals seemed as interested in me as I was in them; they would keep their distance but they would move with me and watch me as I watched them. A little hard to find and not well marked, Lindquist Beach is located off of Smith Bay Road a little northwest of the large Sapphire Beach Resort complex. Probably the easiest way to spot the entrance is to look for the ongoing construction of the new facilities which are easily seen from the road (photo attached). While Lindquist Beach is an option for cruisers, it is a more difficult option than the other beaches as one will need to be self sufficient due to the current lack of facilities and, while there were taxis available, the number was far fewer than at the other beaches so be sure you have a return before the taxi that takes you there leaves.

    We loved lindquist beach! Quiet, low key, lots of shade, picnic tables for lunch. We fed the fish with dog biscuits, really fun for the kids! Warm water, no rocks or seaweed.
