Great video!! that road to the beach reminds us of the jeep tour we did in Tortola 2 years ago. ( you gave my wife PTSD😂 she drove so I could video) I will be checking out your other videos seeing we will be there first week of April in the Disney Fantasy and need some ideas on what to do.
Thanks again for your comments.. Can I ask how many hours off-ship to do adventures you're scheduled to have while you're in-port? I want to create a video designed for your and other similar traveler's to get the Best/Most options out of their one-day ship visit, just as you suggested..
@@GoGrumpy awesome! We are at the port from 7:45-3:45. Most people will be off the ship for 4-5hrs. Thanks for doing that.(you have until April 3🤣) We were telling our kids how crazy that drive was to that beach you did.
That’s close to my house. Love that beach and the Sugar Mill. The best part is it’s secluded and not crowded because we keep it a locals secret. It would be great if it could stay a secret. 🤫
Yep, as I mentioned below, been going down to Neltjeberg for more than 50 years. If it had been up to me we never would have let any cruise ship over 700 passengers call it a port of call. Back 50-60 tears ago our primary excitement was the Wednesday Night Turtle Races at the Hilton, the Tortola Ferry races, and a randon VW Bug floating out at Sub Base after someone parked at the Bar's water's edge without setting the hand break.. But, have to say.. I like being able to actually get green lettuce, real fresh milk and not having to spend the entire day at BMV with no air.. I guess it's just a simple fact of life.. "Progress" can be a two-edged sword.
@@GoGrumpy We began visiting the islands in 2016 I think. All of them are beautiful. Haven’t been to water island yet. That drive looked treacherous to me and we’ve been in the rainforest on St. Croix and driven to maho bay on St. John. Those hook turns scared the hell out of me. But we made them. I tried to get my husband to turn around but luckily he ignored me.
For some of the best hikes perseverance is unbeatable! Better than Santa Maria even Also there’s a short one to ABI bay but if you go though you can hike all the way to oculus bay It’s sad most people don’t know where all these places are with all the technology in their hands !
That’s an ok beach Hendrix bay is much more secluded Also sandy bay ( best beach in st Thomas ) If you can get to Sunsi bay that good too Other beaches to explore that are very secluded but difficult to get to sometimes are stumpy bay Bordeaux bay And tutu
Thanks for your feed-back. The video was based on my my opinion. Been going to Neltjeberg for over 50 years now and it still stands out to me. I go down to Magen's most mornings for a walk and swim. Great way to start the day. By the way, you may already know it's free if you go before 7am. We locals also can get a deep-discounted anytime pass. I used to go to Stumpy often. Great for a beach dive. A good spearfishing site too. The beach is a preety rocky though for my taste. Yes, we are lucky to have so many great beach options. However, at the moment I'm getting the house ready for Ernesto's arrival tomorrow. It seems to be tracking very similar to Marilyn back in-the-day. Right between STT and STX. And that was supposed to be just a Trropical Storm too. Yep, lost the house in that one. One thing about when a heavy storm does hit, folks are tripping over themselves to go out of their way to help anyone and everyone PERIOD! Just filled up my generator tanks and the car. I'm ready. Be sure to check back soon.. Grumpy
Used to be a great beach until they started doing jeep tours. Now you can't even get to park anymore because it's always overcrowded! Sad that locals can't have anything to themselves anymore 😢
Yep, I remeber going down with the dogs and horses more than 50 years ago. Up until just a few years back there were always week-end "makeshift shanties" popping up, only to be blown down in the next storm.
I do understand your question and comment. The short answer to your "why", is I want folks to love our island as I do. As I mentioned in a response to an earlier comment. If I could have, I would have kept my island home the same as we found it when we first moved here in 1965. Back in the day we had a few cruise ships durring the season with mostly 500-700 passengers each. No cable TV or internet, the local station went to the test pattern around 10:pm. Magens was free. A Rum and Coke with a fresh Pate was a buck and that was a "Real Man's" drink as Rum was cheaper then Coke. No such thing as traffic (we only had a few (sometimes working) traffic lights on the entire island), and it was common to see folks still riding donkeys. It was also common for WAPA to be out for days at a time. When we ran short of water there were Public Cisterns and a line. We all knew VooDoo Beach and why you'd see a dead chicken hanging above a door. Somehow we all got along together and if you ever needed help there was never a lack of smiling faces and offers to lend a hand. We slept on the beach and went to the The Crazy Cow in town for the best hamburger after dark without any fear for our safety.. All that said, it's still my home and favorite place to be.. Hope its the same with you.. Welcome home.. Grumpy

Is there buses that goes around to those beaches ?

How long have you been living in the USVI?
We originaly moved to St Thomas when I was 15 back in 1965.. It's always amazing to me how much has changed, and then again how much hasn't.

Why would you give directions to one of the best local beaches? You’re the problem.
