Brewers Bay

A calm bay beside the airport runway, with shallow, gentle water, planes landing overhead, and food trucks in the evening.

Brewers Bay sits beside the campus of the University of the Virgin Islands, at the end of the airport runway. The water is shallow and calm, good for family swimming and snorkeling, and sea turtles and starfish are often seen. Its main draw is watching planes skim low over the water as they come in to land. Locals like to walk and picnic here, and food trucks sell local snacks in the evening. Entry is free and facilities are basic.
