runk Bay is one of the island's most picturesque beaches, and a popular spot for snorkeling. A 225-yard trail with underwater signage is especially good for beginners. It is the beach of choice for cruise-ship passengers who opt for some snorkeling, so you may want to check cruise-ship listings in the local publication St. Thomas This Week to avoid the most crowded days. Further offshore are shallow reefs that attract fish and divers alike.
Surfboards and sailboats are often found at Cinnamon Bay, where the surf tends to be stronger. The long, white sand beach is flanked by a national park campground. The campground has showers, bathrooms, restaurants and a gift shop that are open to the public, as well as a museum highlighting a recent archaeological excavation of a native Arawak site near the beach.
Drive along the roads of St. John and you'll be presented with many beautiful panoramas, such as this bird's eye view of Maho Bay and Francis Bay on the north coast.
