A small cove of white sand on St. Thomas's north-east shore, with reef and fish a few strokes from the beach — the island's easy snorkel and its classic shore dive. Vendors rent chairs and masks on the sand, Coral World's undersea observatory sits on the point next door, and the beach itself is public and free.

The call is the same one our beach report makes, refreshed every half hour: the swell reaching the cove (Open-Meteo's marine forecast north of the islands), the cruise passengers our crowd model puts on the sand, NOAA's sargassum satellite and the rain forecast. It is a model, not a lifeguard's report — and it does not include DPNR's weekly water test, which is below. The bars under each call are the hours from 8 am to 5 pm. Today's beach report
Taxi fares from town and the airport, the ships that fill the beach, today's beach, dive and weather reads and the island around it — each one opens the full page.
Coki Beach from OpenStreetMap: the sand at the head of Coki Bay, Coki Point Road and the lot behind the beach, Coral World on the point and its observatory in the bay. The long strip of sand across Water Bay is Pineapple Beach, a resort beach, not Coki. Tap a pin for its section.
Getting there
How to get to Coki Beach
Coki is at the end of Coki Point Road (Route 388), which leaves Route 38 — Smith Bay Road, the main road between Charlotte Amalie and Red Hook — at the Coral World sign above Louie's Market and runs about 900 m down to the beach and Coral World's gate on the point. Most visitors come by taxi, which the territory's tourism department calls the easiest way in, because parking at the beach is so limited.
Taxis charge the official per-person fare in the table. From the cruise docks and downtown, Coral World puts the ride at 20 to 25 minutes and quotes $20 a person for two or more — more than the Taxicab Commission's posted rate from Charlotte Amalie below, so agree the fare before you get in. The tariff has no separate line to Coki from Havensight, Crown Bay or Red Hook.

Per person, one way: fares set by the VI Taxicab Commission (rates revised October 24, 2022); night, luggage and waiting surcharges apply. Drive times are Google's for an ordinary day. Fare calculator for any two stops
Agree the fare before you set off — it is per person, one way — and agree a pick-up time for the ride back.
Parking by the beach is extremely limited, the tourism department says, and you should expect a small fee if you find a space. The Coral World lot is for Coral World's ticket-holders: Coral World says a beachgoer's car left there without its parking permit can be booted.
From a ship, allow 20 to 25 minutes each way (Coral World's estimate) and keep the all-aboard time in mind on the way back.
The safari buses between town and Red Hook run along Route 38; the turn for Coki is at the Coral World sign, and the beach is about 900 m down the hill from there.
If you drive, the police's advice on St. Thomas is plain: do not leave valuables in the car, and lock it.
Coki is a public beach: there is no gate and no entry fee, and the whole of it belongs to everyone. The territory's public beaches are under the Government of the Virgin Islands and its Department of Sports, Parks and Recreation, and DPNR's Coastal Zone Management program says plainly that beaches cannot be fenced off. What costs money is a chair, gear, a parking space — and Coral World next door.

There is no published lifeguard schedule for Coki.
Your rights and the rules
✓Anyone, anywhere on the beach — it is public, and vendors may not tell anyone where they can or cannot sit
✕Vendors' chairs set out before they are rented — against the Department of Sports, Parks and Recreation's rules, as is blocking the view
✕Vendors working the taxis and safari buses — they must wait until you ask
✕Sunscreen with oxybenzone, octinoxate or octocrylene — banned from sale in the territory since March 30, 2020 — bring a mineral one
✕Beachgoers' cars in the Coral World lot — it is for Coral World's ticket-holders, and cars without its permit can be booted
Everything is close together: the sand at the head of the cove, the vendors' boardwalk and the lot behind it, the dive shack at the east end, and Coral World's gate a few steps beyond. Prices are the businesses' own, as listed in October 2026.
The reason to come. Two coral reefs lie just off the beach, the CWORI Dive Center says, with a calm, easy entry from the sand — no boat and no long swim. Reef fish crowd the shallows, and turtles, southern stingrays, eagle rays, octopus and nurse sharks turn up. The coral is struggling: DPNR reports that coral in the Virgin Islands has declined by roughly half in 20 years, and stony coral tissue loss disease reached the territory in 2019. Look, and do not stand on it.
Vendors rent chairs, umbrellas, towels, floats, lockers and masks, fins and snorkels on the sand, typically from mid-to-late morning to about 5 pm. One vendor's prices, listed on the booking site Sandy Spot in October 2026: two chairs and an umbrella $20; a mask and snorkel, fins, a locker, a float mat, a life jacket or a towel $5 each. Under the department's rules, chairs may not be set out before they are rented, and nobody may be told where they can or cannot sit — the whole beach is public.
Behind the sand, the vendors' boardwalk sells food and drinks, and the tourism department lists restrooms and showers at the beach. The government built the vendors' pavilion and renovated the restrooms after 2010 — a cistern, an office and a wheelchair ramp were part of the plan — and in 2016 the department told senators it had a worker keeping the restrooms clean. The lot behind the beach is small — privately owned, the Source reported in 2019 — and you should expect a fee.
The dive shack at the east end of the sand is run by the CWORI Dive Center, the dive operation of the Coral World Ocean & Reef Initiative, a non-profit founded in 2019 — every dive helps pay for its coral restoration. Guided shore dives for certified divers ($89, to 55 ft, about 1½ hours), Try Scuba for beginners 10 and up ($109), SSI courses and snorkel rentals; Monday to Friday 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, Saturdays by phone. Coki Dive Center, which dived from this beach from 1989, sold its business in 2025 and no longer operates here, whatever older listings say.
The marine park on Coki Point. Its undersea observatory tower stands in the bay, its lower floor 15 ft below the surface looking straight onto the reef; on land there are sharks, turtles and stingrays in pools, sea lions, dolphins, lorikeets, a touch pool and a nature trail. A day pass is $29 (13 and over) or $17 (3 to 12); with its wristband you can go back and forth to the beach all day. 9 am to 4 pm, the ticket booth closing at 3. Its Beach Bar & Café, just outside the gate, is open to beachgoers without a ticket.
DPNR samples the water at Coki Point every week for Enterococci bacteria and publishes the results each Friday. In 2026, up to October 9, Coki was on the unsafe-for-swimming list in 7 of the 31 weeks it was tested — four of them in the five weeks from September 4 to October 2 — and it passed in the latest, on October 9. DPNR also warns against swimming where stormwater runs in after rain, or in heavy sargassum. Look at the newest advisory before you swim.
Walk in, put your face in the water and the fish are there: the tourism department calls Coki a beginner- and family-friendly snorkel, with reef fish a short swim from shore and sergeant majors everywhere. Follow the reef along either side of the cove. Calm on most days; on a winter north-swell day, check the call before you go in.
The island's classic shore dive. The CWORI Dive Center's guided dive (from $89) follows one of the two reefs to a maximum of 55 ft, with no surface swim, and passes the rebar tables and coral trees of its nursery, where staghorn and star corals are grown to be planted back on the reef. First time? Try Scuba ($109, 10 and up) starts in the shallows off the beach.
Walk out along the bridge from Coral World and down into the tower: the windows look onto the reef in the bay, with whatever wild fish are passing. It is included in a Coral World day pass ($29, $17 for 3–12s), along with the shark, turtle and stingray pools, the sea lions, the lorikeet garden and the nature trail. Allow two or three hours, Coral World says.
Coral World's paid experiences, each including park admission, as listed in October 2026: Sea Trek, a helmet walk on the sea floor round the observatory ($119, 8+); SNUBA, breathing from a raft-borne tank down to 20 ft on the reef by Coki Point ($102, 8+); the Shark Encounter ($64); the Sea Lion or Dolphin Encounter ($119); and the Sea Lion or Dolphin Splash & Swim ($182.50, 7+). Coral World recommends booking ahead.
Along Route 38 at Smith Bay, Lindquist is the opposite of Coki: a protected, undeveloped beach in Smith Bay Park, with no vendors and no bar, and an entry fee. Come for the quiet and the clear water, and bring what you need.
Red Hook, at the east end of the island, is a short drive from Coki, and the passenger ferries to Cruz Bay on St. John leave from there through the day. A morning snorkel at Coki and an afternoon across the water make an easy day.
There is no restaurant on the sand. Food and drinks come from the vendors on the boardwalk behind the beach, and from Coral World's Beach Bar & Café, just outside the park's main gate and open to beachgoers without a Coral World ticket, 9 am to 4 pm, with breakfast items, wraps, burgers and salads on its menu.
In the evening, Coral World's terrace restaurant, Nautilus 340, serves dinner Wednesday to Saturday from 5 to 9 pm, with a happy hour until 6:30; it recommends booking on (340) 423-4123.

Weather & sea
Coki Beach weather and the best time to go
Warm all year: highs in the mid-80s °F in winter and around 90 °F in late summer, with a steady easterly trade wind and short tropical showers rather than all-day rain. December to April is the dry season — and the heart of the cruise season, when Coki is busiest.
Coki faces north into a small bay, with Coki Point and Coral World on its east side and Thatch Cay across the water, so on most days the trade-wind sea passes it by and the cove is calm enough to snorkel from the sand. The exception is winter: swells from storms far out in the North Atlantic can reach the beach for a day or two, and the call at the top of this page reads the swell every half hour. After heavy rain, keep away from where the runoff comes in, as DPNR advises.

Cruise crowds
Cruise ships and the crowd at Coki Beach
Coki is one of St. Thomas's cruise-excursion beaches: Coral World and Coki Beach are sold together as a shore excursion, and taxis bring passengers out from Havensight and Crown Bay. It is a small beach, about 180 m of sand, so the ships' days are its busy ones; with no ships in Charlotte Amalie it is much quieter.
25 of the next 31 days have a ship in Charlotte Amalie. The busiest at Coki Beach, by our model:
Wed, Nov 11 — 3 ships, 14,555 guests in port. Packed: ~2,100 expected here, 9 am–4 pm
Thu, Nov 12 — 4 ships, 17,041 guests in port. Packed: ~3,200 expected here, 8 am–4 pm
Tue, Nov 17 — 4 ships, 15,246 guests in port. Packed: ~2,600 expected here, 8 am–4 pm
Thu, Nov 19 — 3 ships, 12,871 guests in port. Packed: ~2,100 expected here, 9 am–6 pm
Wed, Nov 25 — 4 ships, 17,831 guests in port. Packed: ~2,200 expected here, 8 am–5 pm
Wed, Dec 2 — 5 ships, 19,835 guests in port. Packed: ~2,800 expected here, 9 am–6 pm
Our crowd model, not a head count: it puts about 18% of each ship's passengers at Coki and Coral World, starting about 75 minutes after the ship is alongside and gone 90 minutes before it sails; past 1,500 on the sand we call it packed. The same model makes the call at the top of the page and on our beach report.
No — there is no public live webcam at Coki Beach that we can embed, and we would rather say so than show a still photo dressed up as live. The nearest live camera on the island is at Sapphire Beach, on the east end, about 1½ miles (2.3 km) south-east as the crow flies.
A marine park opens on the point beside Coki Beach, built round an undersea observatory under a geodesic dome, sunk into the reef about a hundred feet offshore. Coral World says it has been there more than 48 years.
1989
Diving from the beach
Coki Dive Center starts up — beach dives at Coki and boat dives round the island, it says — and runs for the next 36 years.
1995
Hurricane Marilyn
Marilyn smashes Coral World's tanks and observatory, and the park sits closed for more than a year while its owners look for a buyer.
August 1998
Coral World rebuilt
New owners reopen the park after a two-year rebuild, with the shops, café and dive shop moved in front of the gate and a boardwalk to Coki Beach, so beachgoers can eat and shop without entering the park.
October 2010
A pavilion for the vendors
The government signs a $733,703 contract for a vendor pavilion and renovated restrooms at Coki Point, part of a $1.7 million project. An archaeological survey has found graves on the site, so the design is changed and the work split into phases.
June 2016
The beach before the Legislature
Sports, Parks and Recreation tells senators the restrooms have been cleaned and repainted, trash is collected twice a day and every vendor's business licence has been checked; it has one lifeguard at Coki, five days a week.
September 2017
Irma and Maria
The two hurricanes do about $2 million of damage at Coral World, which releases more than 200 marine animals into the sea around the point; Coki Point Road is closed to the public for months. The observatory survives, and the park reopens to the public at the end of January 2018.
July 2019
Rules for the vendors
After complaints about chair rentals, the Department of Sports, Parks and Recreation reminds Coki's vendors that chairs may not be set out before they are rented and nobody may be told where to sit: the whole beach is public.
2025
A new dive shack, and a grant for the reef
Coki Dive Center sells its business after 36 years, and the CWORI Dive Center takes over the dive shack. CWORI wins a $5.6 million share of a NOAA climate-resilience grant, through DPNR, to plant 15,000 nursery-grown corals back on Coki Reef over five years.
Coki is small and a cruise-excursion stop, so the morning before the tours arrive and the late afternoon are the easy times. The call at the top of the page shows today's ships and when their passengers are expected on the sand.
Check the water test
DPNR's Friday advisory says whether Coki met the bacteria standard that week; in 2026 it failed 7 times in 31 tests. After heavy rain, stay out of the water where runoff comes in.
Reef-safe sunscreen
The U.S. Virgin Islands have banned the sale of sunscreens with oxybenzone, octinoxate or octocrylene since March 30, 2020. Bring a mineral (zinc or titanium) one — the reef is a few feet away.
Look, don't touch
Coki Reef is being replanted: CWORI is growing thousands of corals to put back on it. Float over the coral rather than standing on it, and keep fins off the bottom.
Do not count on a lifeguard
We found no published lifeguard schedule for Coki; in 2016 the department had one guard here, five days a week. Snorkel with a buddy, and keep children within reach.
Lock up your things
Vendors rent lockers on the beach ($5 on Sandy Spot's listing). If you came by car, the police's advice on St. Thomas is to leave no valuables in it and lock it.
Yes. Coki is a public beach with no entry fee and no gate, the USVI Department of Tourism says, and it is open all the time. What costs money is a chair and umbrella, snorkel gear, a locker, parking near the beach and Coral World next door.
Is Coki Beach good for snorkeling?
Yes — it is the island's easy snorkel. Two coral reefs lie just off the sand, with a calm entry from the beach, and reef fish such as sergeant majors are a few strokes out; turtles, stingrays and octopus turn up too. Winter north swells can make it rough on some days, and DPNR's weekly water test is worth checking first.
Where can I rent snorkel gear at Coki Beach?
On the sand. Vendors rent masks, snorkels and fins, and one vendor's listing on Sandy Spot in October 2026 had a mask and snorkel at $5 and fins at $5. The CWORI Dive Center at the east end of the beach rents snorkel gear too.
How much is a taxi to Coki Beach?
Taxis charge fixed per-person fares set by the VI Taxicab Commission. From Charlotte Amalie to Coki Point it is $18 for one rider, $14 each for two or more; from the airport $21 for one rider, $15 each for two or more. Coral World's own page quotes $20 a person for two or more from the cruise docks or downtown, so agree the fare before you set off. Night, luggage and waiting surcharges apply.
How far is Coki Beach from the cruise port?
About 18 minutes (10.1 km) by road from Charlotte Amalie, out along Route 38 toward Red Hook; Coral World puts the taxi ride from the cruise docks or downtown at 20 to 25 minutes.
Is there parking at Coki Beach?
A little. The tourism department says parking at Coki Point Beach is extremely limited and that you should expect a small fee if you find a space; the lot by the beach is privately owned. Coral World's lot is free for Coral World's ticket-holders only, and Coral World says a beachgoer's car left there without its permit can be booted. Taxis are the easy way in.
Do I need a Coral World ticket to go to Coki Beach?
No. Coki is a public beach next to Coral World, not part of it. Coral World's Beach Bar & Café, just outside its gate, serves beachgoers without a ticket. With a Coral World day pass ($29 for 13 and over, $17 for 3 to 12) you can go back and forth between the park and the beach all day.
Is the water at Coki Beach safe to swim in?
Usually, but check. DPNR tests Coki Point every week for Enterococci bacteria and posts the results each Friday. In 2026, up to October 9, Coki failed the standard in 7 of the 31 weeks it was tested — four of them between September 4 and October 2 — and it passed in the October 9 advisory. Stay out of the water near runoff after heavy rain.
Does Coki Beach have lifeguards?
We found no published lifeguard schedule for Coki. In 2016 the Department of Sports, Parks and Recreation told senators it had one lifeguard at the beach, five days a week. Do not count on one: snorkel with a buddy and watch children closely.
Is there a dive shop at Coki Beach?
Yes: the CWORI Dive Center, run by the non-profit Coral World Ocean & Reef Initiative, has the dive shack on the beach. It offers guided shore dives for certified divers ($89), Try Scuba for beginners 10 and up ($109), SSI courses and snorkel rentals, Monday to Friday 8:30 am to 4:30 pm and Saturdays by phone on (340) 220-2733. Coki Dive Center sold its business in 2025 and no longer operates at the beach.
Is Coki Beach crowded?
On cruise-ship days it can be: Coral World and Coki are sold together as a shore excursion, and the beach is small. Early mornings, late afternoons and days with no ships in Charlotte Amalie are quieter. The call at the top of this page reads each day's ships.
Is there a Coki Beach webcam?
No public live stream we can embed. The nearest live camera on St. Thomas is at Sapphire Beach, on the east end.
