Large Portion

The Abacos are further north than the other Bahamian Islands, and Marsh Harbour is home base for most tourist operations among the islands. There are so many beaches it is hard to come up with a best of list. Most beaches are similar in that they are white sand and slope very gradually out to the ocean. This is due to the open sea and wave action they receive. Large portion of elkhorn coral abound in this area and snorkeling is a delight.

Trunk Bay St John USVI

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 untouched. It’s the smallest of the three U.S. Virgin Islands, but at 28 square miles, almost two-thirds are a U.S. National Park. Naturally this means more people want to see what “pristine” really means.
