Such a wonderful beach, really enjoyed we only stayed a couple of hours but well worth the visit clean tidy beautiful crystal clear water , not commercial at all and its easy to get to just tell the safari taxi driver that you need to be dropped there and getting back is easy you just flag down a taxi they run by all the time,
This is the first beach with parking/facilities you get to when leaving Cruz Bay. That being said it is usually very busy. The only plus is it gets morning sun
we had fun at this beach and snorkeled all around the beach and water. the kids really liked it with little to no current made it easy to swim around. there were some really cool rock formations and we climbed on and swam around as well. Definitely worth a visit!
We loved this beach and went many times during our visit…we could snorkel or swim over to Oppenheimer and we Love this beach and will be back. Its the one that drops off into the water and has the softest SAND
The beach is hilly with lots of spots for shade in the mangroves. Great snorkeling here and some waves for the kids. We all loved this beach and stayed for quite a while. You can see ruins up on e hill across the bay.
We talked to several snorkelers on this beach and they had spotted sea turtles as well as sting rays. My husband was out swimming and almost stepped on a sting ray(4 feet under on the ocean floor), so watch wear you step.
Get here early as there is limited parking. The beach sand is so very fine and the view is amazing. Snorkeling is very good here as well but better at Francis, Maho, and Salt Pond. Great beach!
we went a couple of days following a storm so the normally big waves were huge (9-10') which made for a lot of fun. surfers were out. some folks tried to snorkel but just could not. there is not much beach at high tide so we were crowded into the bushes along the edge with the other folks. there is a bathroom (outhouse) and there are grills and picnic tables. parking is very close so it is easy to carry your gear in. the water is warm and the beach is sandy. you will get sun in the AM primarily. occasional pelican can be seen.
This is a beautiful beach and the snorkeling is really good too!Would recommend it and will visit again
All beaches on St. John are beautiful, so take this criticism with a grain of salt! The day we were there the water was fairly rough and the there was very little " safe" beach where your stuff wasn't going to get wet. Also, the beach is very sloped, making it difficult to place your beach chair. The beach is considerably smaller than some of the others as well.
