  The taxi here from Cruz Bay was wild, yet attractive ride through the narrow, winding road,up and down the steep hills, filled with lush greenery! At the Cinamon Bay entrance from, the road, is a large restaurant, bathroom facilities and campground. It is a short walk to the white sand beach. The plus for us with this beach is the level ground as you enter the water. Most of the other beaches have a big drop off just after you enter the water. The negative is the strong winds that keep coming up, blowing so much sand in your face. After a couple of hours, with ears full of sand, we taxi cabbed to Caneel Bay for some time at that beach and Honeymoon Beach, a short walk away. Then dinner at the Caneel Bay Resort, which was quite good. Taxi to Cruz Bay and late ferry back to St. Thomas rounded out the day.

  Of all the beaches in St Thomas and St John, this was my favorite. It was large enough to satisfy my need to walk on the beach and quite beautiful. It was not crowded and wide enough to lay out a blanket and not feel like people were looming around you. The facilities were excellent as well.

  the beach was wide and sandy, with nice amenities of the national park service such as water, toilets/showers, visitors center. When I went it was more in the afternoon on a weekday so it didn't seem crowded at all. just across the street from the entrance to the beach, there is a cool part of the park where you can see the old ruins of old sugar can factories too so be sure to check that out too.

  A spectacular beach. Not too crowded with the expected powdery sand and crystal blue waters. It was nice to be able to get lunch and rent anything you need. $7 taxi ride from Cruz Bay.

  I just returned from a short visit to St. John. Cinnamon Bay was a nice campground. I stayed in a platform tent. The tent was large for my needs (solo) but might be a bit small for a family of four. You are provided fresh linens for the cots, and towels. The cots are not like your bed at home, but comfortable; remember you are camping. It rained several times (mainly at night) and the tent was nice and dry. The wildlife is every where. When I stepped out of my tent the first morning, two dear were using the front canopy as shelter. I expected them to run away, but they stayed as I headed for the showers. There is no hot water for the showers, it is cool but not cold water. The beach is wonderful, the grounds are kept cleaner then most parks. The food at the Tree Lizard was ok, not great, but not bad. The staff was nice and offered several helpful tips about things to do on the island.Overall, a nice few days. And I hope to return for a longer stay in the future.

  The beach is amazing, there are beautiful paths to walk through the camping areas, there is food, a bar, but not too near the beach, so the beach feels secluded. Gorgeous!

  With all of the beautiful beaches in St. John it's very difficult to pick a favorite but we definitely enjoyed Cinnamon Bay. It was absolutely beautiful, is a long and very wide beach with lots of options for shade and nice breezes. Definitely one of our favorites. Be sure to make a stop at the Cinnamon Bay Archeology Museum & Lab and the ruins across the street. Both are well worth it.

  This is a beautiful, long beach that has a gentle slope into the water. The only problem was on the day we visited, the wind was so strong that it was impossible to sit. In a matter of only a couple of minutes, the sand had blown onto everything. I did go for a long walk and loved all the little hidden places behind the rocks, etc. it also wasn't very crowded that day.

  Wonderful beach with a great reef for snorkeling on the far east end. The reef had tons of hole in it for fish to swim in and through so there was always a surprise to look for! There was a lot of wind on the day we visited but that did not cloud the water or make conditions too rough. Excellent snorkeling. Also, talk to Matt at the rental booth for paddle boards or anything else. He was VERY helpful with great instructions!

  We love Cinnamon Bay. It is one of the longest beaches in St. John. It is also wider than most. It has a great view of Cinnamon Cay and Peter Bay estates. You can also see Jost Van Dyke in the distance. There are facilities here. Restrooms, showers and foot showers. There is a small gift shop that has some beach gear and necessities. You can also rent paddelboards, kayaks, hobie sailboat, and skimboards There is also a restaurant. When we were here we didn't eat but have eaten in the past and thought it was convenient and fine. On this day we spent 3 hours around the corner on the right side of the beach. This is were the beach is the longest and you can have more space. It is one of the nicest walking beaches on the island.
