Pair a compact, lively snorkeling beach with the adjacent ticketed marine park, while separating the free public-beach visit from Coral World’s changing exhibits and encounters.
Why It’s Worth Your Time
Coki Point offers shore snorkeling and a social beach scene beside Coral World Ocean Park. Visibility, marine life, currents, parking, and crowd levels change, so evaluate conditions rather than relying on guaranteed sightings. Coral World requires separate admission and offers a changing set of exhibits and optional programs. Review current tickets, animal-welfare practices, encounter rules, and opening information directly, and never touch or feed wildlife while snorkeling.
What Stands Out
- Best easily accessible snorkeling on St. Thomas — reef begins 20 feet from shore
- Sea turtles
- parrotfish
- and blue tang routinely encountered
- Adjacent Coral World Ocean Park — underwater observatory and marine encounters
