Trunk Bay

St. John may be the smallest of the three US Virgin Islands, but it is home to Trunk Bay – an extraordinary beach that’s sure to leave the biggest impression of any on the three US islands. One of the most photographed – and photogenic – beaches in the world, Trunk Bay is the crowning glory of sleepy St. John’s dozen-odd beaches, its attractive powdery sand offset by a verdant inland replete with seagrape and palm trees and a turquoise shoreline drenched in the tropical sun. Scenic sands aside, the waters here are also popular with beginning snorkelers, who delight in following the fun, self-guided underwater trail complete with signage identifying native aquatic life and corals; snorkeling equipment can be rented right on the beach. This only downside to this crowd-pleaser is that it can indeed get crowded, especially when cruise ships are in port – on those days, you’re best to come before noon or after 4pm.
