The Beach at the Ritz Carlton

The beaches on St Thomas are all public.  They do politely ask that you not use the deck chairs they provide, but anyone is welcome to toss a towel down and be a part of the good life...

Lots of big kid beach toys for their guests...

But really, this looks like work...

Ahhh... His and hers massage tables in a private beach house... That sounds like a vacation.

Oh, they do have a pool, and a convenient ice water with lemons station (shhh... I get a drink from there whenever I walk by).

And a convenient beach side bar is a great place to enjoy a Mojito and watch the world wind surf by...

The Ritz Carlton IGUANAS

Our condo almost shares a beach with the Ritz Carlton Hotel and Time Share property.  We walk through there often.  Plenty of photo opps, so you will see their property again...

But this gy is unusual.  he obviously has been feed by guests often.  Instead of running from people (like every other iguana I have met, he walks right up and waits for lunch...

He is about 4 feet long... among the biggest I have seen

Here's his beach roaming counterpart... equally unafraid of humans...

But the scary ones are the ones that just blend into the rocks and surprise you.
