The beaches along St. John’s north shore are simply spectacular. Imagine soft white powder extending into the clear turquoise waters. Coral extends from the nearby rocks and beautifully colored fish can be seen from the surface. When you look out from the beach you are met with the stark beauty of the coastline and other […]

Honeymoon Beach, St. John USVI
Honeymoon Beach is tranquility in paradise. This smaller, yet more spectacular beach offers you beautiful white sand and crystal clear waters. You can access the beach via the Lind Point Hiking Trail that connects Cruz Bay to Honeymoon and Caneel Bay. Why is this beach so exclusive? We think it’s because it’s not accessible by […]

Grand Beach - St. Thomas USVI
There’s nothing big about big about Grand Beach and that’s fine with us. You may even be one of the few out there for a bit on any given day except weekends because of the location. Like secluded? We do, too. The sweet part is that the water here and sand are simply unbelievable. The […]

Best Beaches on St. John - U.S. Virgin Islands
We can thank one of the Rockefellers for keeping St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands beautiful. It was Laurance Rockefeller back in 1956 who purchased and turned a large portion of the island into a national park. What this means to you is that as other Caribbean islands over build and over develop, St. John remains […]

Cane Bay Beach - The Best Beach on St. Croix
http://vimeo.com/moogaloo
Cane Bay is the best beach on St. Croix. Why? It ranks best with sunbathers, snorkel enthusiasts, for walking, and is a perfect “kids” beach. Pictures don’t do it justice. The one thing you may note about the Virgin Islands is that the humidity can creep up there a bit. But when you’re in paradise, […]

Protestant Cay Beach - St. Croix - USVI
Protestant Cay is located just off the shore, so close you think you could swim right out to it - but take the ferry from Christiansted. It’s a short ferry ride to get to the beautiful sandy beach at “Hotel on the Cay“. Since all beaches on St. Croix are public, feel free to walk […]

Bluebeard’s Beach, St. Thomas USVI
If I took you to this beach in St. Thomas and we walked along for a bit you certainly wouldn’t believe me if I told you that it is one of the less frequented beaches on the Island. But it shouldn’t be. The sand is fine and there are some very good shade spots on […]

Water Island - Honeymoon Beach, St. Thomas
I tried hard to find out how Honeymoon Beach got its name, and I suppose it’s just something related to going to St. Thomas on your honeymoon and hanging out at this beach. Does anyone know for sure? Contact us here and we’ll update this entry. What you will find here is something we won’t […]

Lindbergh Beach - St. Thomas USVI
For whatever reason I always thought that this would be a great beach to come to simply for the historical reasons. In my book Lindy was a pretty great hero and even though his political views can be debated, he made some wonderful contributions to flight. Even though Lindbergh was buried in Maui, there are […]

Brewer’s Bay Beach - St. Thomas USVI
No, it wasn’t the college students at the nearby university that gave this beach its namesake. And I’m not sure where Brewer’s came from, but there are a couple of places in the Caribbean called that. The bay is really pretty and the sand is simply brilliant white. This contrasted with super blue sky and […]

Morning Star Beach - St. Thomas USVI
Want to get in a good beach jog? This might be a favorite, except the beach is relatively narrow and you’d be tilting when running one way, and the opposite on the way back. Since this bay is open to the ocean it can get a little rough here. Some people tend to hang out […]

Lindquist Beach - St. Thomas USVI
First, let me remind you of a little beach safety. I’m not talking about watching for riptides and currents, heavy surf, although those are extremely important. I’m referring to playing it safe in areas you are not familiar with. If you think there is an opportunity for someone to break into your rental car, or […]

Sapphire Beach - St. Thomas USVI
Here’s a beach that is fun for walking and nice for swimming in a few good areas. But along the shore there has always been shallow grassy areas that give way to a near shore reef. That can be creepy walking through if you’ve never done it, but remember you don’t have to enter there. […]

Secret Harbour Beach - St. Thomas USVI
You knew there would have to be a beach in St. Thomas somewhere with the word Secret in the title. And this is it. It’s not really secluded or anything, unless you count the many condos that have found their way to the shore. One nice crescent and a compacted sand beach lined with short […]

Coki Point Beach - St. Thomas USVI
Since this is one of the main hang outs of the locals on St. Thomas, you may find it a tad crowded from time to time, and especially on weekends. Think about it - great expanse, fine location, facilities nearby, including food and shade - it’s practically perfect. But we’ve had some reports that it […]

Little Magens Bay Beach - St .Thomas USVI
Imagine waking up to water in so many shades of blue that you, well, never get use it. A sailboat sails slowly by as it makes its way into deeper water. You hear gulls overhead as they compete with the gentle Caribbean breeze. It’s almost hypnotizing, but you know you’re here in St. Thomas and […]

Magens Bay Beach - St. Thomas USVI
This huge expanse of a beach is set next to the rolling mountains of St. Thomas, and what makes this SO beautiful is that the mountains literally roll right down into the Caribbean Sea. The water around this enchanted Island is so blue, and I’m happy that pictures of St. Thomas normally pick up the […]
