Attracting the most visitors of any beach on St. John, Trunk Bay rightly deserves its popularity. The quarter-mile-long getaway reaches out to the sea and is shaped almost like a heart if seen from overhead.
Possessing white sand, sparkling clear water and a cluster of coconut trees waving gently to the ocean breeze, the resort is also a breathtaking location for snorkeling enthusiasts. There is an under-sea trail where a wide variety of fish roam free.
Back in the day, New York’s literary elite and adventurous crowds flocked to this location to get away from the hustle and bustle of big-city life.
Trunk Bay was once a private property complete with “No Trespassing” signs but luckily it is now open for public enjoyment and relaxation.
