An unbelievably beautiful island with crystal clear water and soft silky sand on its beaches, St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands is a paradise for vacationers, particularly those interested in snorkeling. The small secluded beaches and cays are bordered by trees, which give ample shade, making them ideal for honeymooners or families on vacation .Surrounded by emerald green hills filled with tropical vegetation, the island‘s beaches are a treat for the eyes.

Trunk Bay, which is seen as a heart-shaped bay from the air, captures the heart of visitors with its picture perfect beach. The St. John Virgin Islands National Park maintains an underwater snorkeling trail with signs posted under the water with interesting information.

Caneel Bay has seven beaches and snorkeling around the rocks will allow you to see turtles, stingrays, and the occasional starfish. Salmon Bay and Honeymoon Beach share a fringing reef around the point that separates the two. This is the best spot for shallow water snorkeling in St. John where a large variety of fish, eels, crabs, and shrimps can be seen.

Snorkeling in the US Virgin Islands is fun because the water is warm and clear. Getting in and out of the water to enjoy the colorful world of the coral reefs is a painless experience as most snorkeling sites are close to the shore and the sea is usually tranquil. Beginners can learn to snorkel on the beach at Cinnamon Bay, Little Cinnamon Bay, and in Cinnamon Cay, a little off-shore island nearby. Experienced snorkelers can visit Mary’s Point, Whistling Cay, and Johnson’s Reef. The camping grounds in Cinnamon Bay operated by the National Park offer camping accommodation. An activities desk at the National Park also offers snorkeling trips and snorkel lessons for novices.
