Secret Harbor

After two days at Sea, we had a day in St. Thomas. We loved Sapphire Beach last year but we wanted to try another beach. After a little research on Cruise Critic, we decided on Secret Harbor. We took a taxi from the pier. Originally, we told the driver to come back in 3 1/2 hours. We enjoyed the beach so much that Chris asked the bar tender to call the driver and ask if we could stay another two hours. The driver came back right at the new time.




You have not snorkeled until you have snorkeled with a seven year old hanging onto you. He was a little scared snorkeling but he did it twice with me and once with Chris that day. Lydia is a good swimmer but she wouldn't try breathing with the snorkel.




We saw a decent amount of fish.




There were several sea urchins.




Wesley under water.




Lydia played on the beach and in the water.




Secret Harbor is beautiful.



Josiah had a great time.



Chris kayaked with Lydia.



When it was my turn to kayak with Wesley, Josiah quickly climbed in and insisted on going. Later, he kept pointing at the kayaks and saying, "one more time!"



We had lunch at the restaurant. We shared calamari, conch fritters, and a wahoo sandwich. Lydia loved the calamari.



I think this is one of the prettiest places we have eaten. The other top contender would be in Grand Cayman.



Check out the iguana in the tree behind Josiah.

There weren't very many people at Secret Harbor. It was wonderful. There were just the right number of people to feel comfortable but it was never any where near crowded.



The water was warm and clear.



The kids snacked on the fruit loops I brought from the ship. On the way back to the ship, Josiah took a short nap.



One of the beautiful views on the way back.

Josiah took a twenty minute nap during dinner.



Wesley and my dad.



That night was pirate night so Wesley and Lydia went to the kids club from 7:45 to 10:00.



Wesley was too tired to cooperate for a picture.



It was a beautiful, wonderful, and fun day
