Beach Break: Trunk Bay, Part 1

Trunk Bay is one of the most-photographed beaches in the Caribbean. And rightly so. The first time you stop at the overlook on the North Shore road and look down on Trunk Bay, it takes your breath away. It is often crowded by St. John standards, but crowded on St. John is a relative term. You can get something to eat here, or buy a T-shirt, or rent snorkel gear. And there is the famous underwater snorkeling trail. No trip to St. John is complete without at least one visit to Trunk Bay. Trunk Bay deserves two Beach Break installments. So in part one, an introduction to your arrival. Keep your money in your water wallet. This visit is free. Go here!

    While were not quite as cold as the rest of the country I loved this beach break just as much! Once again I as I drove to work this morning I suddenly realized it was Wednesday and pulling into the parking lot was just a little easier than normal cause I knew a special video would be here waiting for me! Thanks for all you guys do, it really is appreciated!

    100 days til rob n cindi are on St.John! :D

    We like Trunk best at about 3:30 in the afternoon. The “tourists” all leave to go back to STT and, before you know it, you have the whole place to yourself. It’s nice to go there and consider it crowded because there are 10 other people in the water with you.

    O.K. I’m officially sick here in Texas dreaming about my toes in the Trunk Bay sand. Luckily I brought sand back with me in Oct and that’s as close as I will get to paradise until we meet again in August for our 20th anniversary! Until then, Happy Valentines to you all and Russ/Jeff-keep it comin’!!!!!

    All that’s missing is the tall lifeguard that always dresses in red and has the friendliest way of telling you “you can’t do that”. Perhaps that’s coming in Part II?!?
