Conrad beat me to the post, but I would agree if you want to snorkle then go to Sapphire Beach.

For a great view on the way back ask the driver to go on Skyline Drive and make a stop at the scenic overlook. You're much higher than Paradise Point. The same can be done on the way back from Megans, but it's slightly out of the way.

If you go to Megens Bay have lunch there. Something about Megens Bay pizza we just can't get enough of

A few things about Megens Bay to note: It's a National Park and you will be charged a separate fee, besides the taxi fee to enter the park. This is $4 a person and is usually collected additional by the driver. The money goes to perserve the park.

Also if you rent a lounge chair, float or anything else remember you have to leave a returnable deposit. I don't recall the actual amount, I think it was like $10 a lounge and $5 a float deposit. As I said you'll get these back, but not until the items are returned, which can possibly make issues with your daily cash flow.

We perfer to sit to the left of the resturant/bar area (to your right if your in the water) as we find it to be alittle more quiter, although on a busy day with a few ships in port, there is no quiet place at Megdns.

My thoughts on Paradise Point- it's nice.......if you're a tourist. The view is great, but there are many spectacular views on St. Thomas. If you go to Megens up Rt 35 on Mafolie Hill you'll get a enough views for a lifetime just on the way to and from. Almost every bend and twist in the road will provide a great view of either Charlotte Amalie or the BVI depending which side of the island your on. About the Bushwacker... Paradise Point claims to have invented them, but almost any bar on the island will make them. I haven't had one yet I didn't like
