Beach Break: Chocolate Hole

Chocolate Hole Beach is more of a dinghy parking lot for the boats in the bay than it is a true beach. (And for some reason, there are always about four times as many dinghies on the beach as there are boats in the bay.) It’s a neat place though. We’ve heard there are good snorkeling spots. There are also several villas around Chocolate Hole with access to their own little “private” beaches. Ebb Tide, Villa St. John and Poseidon’s Secret are among them. Chocolate Hole is a little more rough around the edges than its neighbor, Great Cruz Bay. But the water here is clear and deep blue. Most people who stay on the South Shore sit on their decks and look at Chocolate Hole. But few people actually go here. So, here’s your chance.

    Thanks for the Beach Break! It is amazing how watching for just a few minutes and listening to the waves can bring you to a whole different place. Thanks again!

    Does anyone know how much beach access will be lost if/when Pond Bay goes in?

    Where did the name Chocolate Hole come from anyway? Is it named after something in town?
