Although I awarded this beach with a rating of three stars, I must admit that it's not the typical sandy and serene beach that most people expect. The sand is actually composed of broken coral reef and is quite rocky, so it's advisable to wear reef walkers for the short forest hike down to the water. Additionally, the coral and sea urchins in the water make it quite hazardous, and the locals have warned about the rip tide, which makes it unsuitable for snorkeling unless you are an experienced swimmer. However, this secluded beach is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts, with monarch butterflies fluttering around and fish swimming in the tide pools when the tide is out. There are no facilities here, unlike other beaches in the US Virgin Islands, but it's an excellent spot for shell hunting, although removing them is illegal. One downside is the abundance of seaweed that floats in, making the water appear uninviting. If you're looking for a typical beach experience, then Honeymoon Beach across the island is a better option. But if you're up for an adventure and want to explore the shoreline, then this beach is worth a visit.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Limestone beach (United States Virgin Islands) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Limestone beach (United States Virgin Islands) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Limestone beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
