United States Virgin IslandsSaint Johns

SKIPPERS NOTES: Roughly two-thirds of St John is National Park and anchoring is prohibited. Mooring balls are available for day use. The south shore of St. John offers a number of very worthwhile places to explore, snorkel and swim to a beach. Salt Pond Bay has one of the nicest beaches in the Virgin Islands and the snorkeling is excellent. The bay is protected and is within the National Park so moorings are available. Just 8 nm from Cowpet Bay on the South Shore of St John the entrance is just before Booby Rock. There are rocks that are visible at all times at the entrance but shouldn’t offer any problems, you can pass on either side of them. Solomon Bay, Caneel, Hawksnest, Trunk, Cinnamon, Maho and Francis bays along the north shore of St. John are some of the most beautiful beaches anywhere.
