So, remember how I said I was going to leave and go to a famous beach since there were no ships in today?  Yeah…that did not happen. I got a serious case of lazy-itis and just stayed at the resort.  Breakfast in the condo.

I did do some exploring, though. I went across the street to the public beach

It was rocky, but pretty.

All beaches in the Virgin Islands are actually public, but you have to access them by the water. No crossing over private land.  The resort I am at provides public land access to the beach on either end. I actually think many of the St. Thomas resorts do.  The St. John properties do not.

 

I did some exploring and visual beach combing.

It’s illegal to take shells, rocks, coral etc.  You can pick stuff up but have to leave it. This is why I collect sea glass, it’s considered litter here.  Cool sponge

Hobie cats that you can take out from the resort beach. I would probably break a leg or something.

For dinner we took a ferry over to Lovango Cay.

Husband had a margarita and I had the Lovango breeze

I really wanted to try the triggerfish, but they are one of my favorites to see snorkeling, so I passed. Husband had no similar qualms.  I got the Lovango tomatoes, which were delicious

And he had the triggerfish bologna.

I chose the mahi. The fish was delicious. The corn was a tad chewy.

And he had the triggerfish main course. He said the triggerfish was kind of sweet. I gave him part of my mahi and he preferred that. I guess triggerfish are better as snorkeling companions.

None of the desserts sounded super appealing to us, so we just split a dish of sorbet and each got an espresso. We got a scoop of blood orange and one of coconut lime. Now we know what the mystery light pink flavor was from last night’s meal. It was blood orange.  The coconut lime one was our favorite
