North Shore Beaches
St John’s North Shore beaches rank among the world’s most beautiful beaches! Turquoise water meets soft white-sand rimmed by tropical coconut palms and seagrapes – with most of the land and sea protected within the US Virgin Islands National Park. Don’t miss Trunk Bay beach, Caneel Bay beach , Cinnamon Bay beach – they are several of the nicest St John beaches! There is taxi service from Cruz Bay and these (3) beaches have amenities that most of the other beaches do not have. More Info
South Shore Beaches
Rugged wind-swept beaches with dramatic rock formations characterize most of the St John beaches on the south shore. These aren’t the postcard beaches of the famous North Shore. St John’s beaches to the south are admired for their secluded locations and stunning natural beauty. They’re also great destinations when the northern swells are coming in on the norther beaches. Some of the top spots are Salt Pond Beach, Little Lameshur Bay beach, Grootpan Bay beach and Europa Bay. More Info
East End Beaches
St John’s East End holds several wonderful beaches and secret snorkeling spots! You’ll also find fewer people on the East End because really the only way to get there is by renting a car or Jeep. That said, I highly recommend the adventure. Top destinations on the East End are Vie’s Beach / Hansen Bay, Haulover North, Haulover South and the mangroves of Hurricane Hole. More Info
