Cinnamon Bay
The longest beach on the north shore of St. John, with a national park campground and a plantation ruins trail nearby, and kayak and paddleboard rentals.
Cinnamon Bay is the longest sandy beach on the north shore of St. John. The water is calm, and snorkeling around the small offshore islet of Cinnamon Reef is good. Behind the beach is the national park campground, where you can rent tents or cottages, and kayaks and stand-up paddleboards are available for hire. A loop trail through the Cinnamon Bay Plantation ruins passes the sugar works and manor houses from the Danish colonial era. Entry is free and parking is limited, so arrive early.
