Water Island
The “fourth island” of the US Virgin Islands, a few minutes away by ferry. Honeymoon Beach is quiet and laid-back, and old fortifications can be explored by bike.
Water Island covers less than 2 square km and has only about 200 residents. The ferry from Crown Bay takes about 10 minutes. The main attraction is Honeymoon Beach, with white sand and clear water, where you can find a beach bar and rent beach chairs. On the island you can explore the remains of Fort Segarra, a World War II-era fortification, on foot or by golf cart. Ferries run several times a day for about $5, and the last departures are early, so check your return time. The island has limited facilities, so bring sunscreen and drinking water.
