St. John Beaches

Why do most visitors travel from all around the globe to vacation on this little piece of paradise . . . the world-class Beaches!

Experience the most incredible white sandy beaches you could ever imagine with crystal clear blue waters.  Most all Saint John Beaches lie within the U.S. Virgin Islands National Park (VINP) encompassing approximately 60% of the island (see map below).  No hotels on the beaches provides a setting of peace and serenity unlike anything you’ve ever experienced.  You can taxi or park right next to most of the beaches, although some require a short hike in.  You will find the beaches are like strong magnets sitting around the island drawing you in everyday to take a dip, snorkel, relax, or walk along and enjoy the natural splendor of Saint John with your family and friends.

Please remember to adhere to all VINP rules regarding beach safety, conservation, and restoration projects.  Most importantly, never snorkel alone and please wear reef-safe sunscreen (no spray), it’s the law.  Below is a list and map of Saint John Beaches.  Many are highlighted with their own Beach Listing.  Click on the Beach Listings to learn more about what makes each Beach unique regarding location, description, history, and amenities.
