6 days exploring the USVI

Hailed as one of the world’s most beautiful, this breath-taking bay along St. Thomas’ rugged north coast is ideal for swimming and snorkelling with all the conveniences of parking, lifeguards, equipment rental, freshwater showers, restaurants and bars.

Henley Cay delivers a bit of adventure and some tremendous views of St John’s North Shore beaches, Lovango Cay and the East End of St Thomas. Once there you’ll go ashore on a tiny crescent of sand and pebble beach in the protected western cove of Henley.

Watermelon Cay is the #1 destination for snorkelling on St John – and the reputation is well deserved. Its off-the-beaten-path location is one reason this spot is on the top of most people’s lists of things to do on St John. The other reason is the diversity of marine life and dramatic location.

Lameshur Bay is located on the rugged south shore of St John. Its remote location, beautiful sand beach, sugar mill ruins and access to several great hiking trails make it one of my top choices for best beaches on St John.

This lux-relaxed resort offers the perfect way to enjoy St John. The 170 acres and 7 beaches of the Caneel Bay are located within the Virgin Islands National Park – offering unparalleled beauty, privacy, convenience and adventure. Caneel’s main beach is it’s most popular. Soft white sand and a shallow entry to the aqua waters of the quiet bay make it the perfect spot for families of all ages.

Located off the south coast of Tortola, Buck Island was acquired by the present owner in the mid 1990’s and developed in phases into the stunning private island retreat seen today. The surrounding waters offer superb and excluded anchorages which are ideal for an evening at anchor in peace and quiet.
