This beach is fantastic - there's even a donation box on the table, but no pressure to contribute. Plus, the sand is a beautiful golden color and has a fine texture.

This is one of the top beaches on the island, offering a perfect blend of a secluded tropical beach atmosphere with a local charm. The white sand beach is ideal for snorkeling and paddle boarding, and even the drive to the beach itself is worth the journey.

The beach is absolutely fantastic and pleasantly uncrowded. It is kept up through donations and offers a wide variety of water toys and canopies for rent. However, it's important to note that there are no food or drink options available, so make sure to bring your own. Additionally, the beach is dog-friendly and the water is exceptionally clear, making it an ideal spot for snorkeling.

This beach on St. John is another beautiful spot worth visiting. It's located near Coral Bay and boasts breathtaking views, much like the other beaches on the island. The waters here are more sheltered than those on the north shore, resulting in calm waters that are ideal for young children who are just learning to snorkel. Families with younger kids will find this beach to be an excellent choice.
