Trunk Bay
St. John's flagship beach, with an underwater snorkel trail. White sand, clear water and a small islet make up the Caribbean's most classic scene.
Trunk Bay is consistently ranked among the world's most beautiful beaches. Off the beach, around Trunk Cay, an underwater snorkel trail about 200 meters long has signs introducing the corals and fish. The beach has lifeguards, changing rooms, snack bars and snorkel gear rentals, with entry costing about US$5. The viewpoint beside North Shore Road is the best spot to photograph the whole bay. Crowds peak in the morning on cruise ship days, so arrive early or visit in the afternoon.
