Beach Break: Frank Bay
This is a neighborhood beach. If you’ve ever wondered where people who work in Cruz Bay live, you’ll find a lot of them in the Frank Bay neighborhood. We should all be so lucky as to be able to walk to work in the morning, and stop at a beach for a sunset on the way home. Frank Bay is right across the street from Coconut Coast Studios. It’s also a good spot for cruise ship watching. Don’t mind those pipes. They’re just part of the desalinization plant. Spend a minute or two at Frank Bay, below!

Nice spot! I think I could live there “No Problem”. Thanks for sharing.

I think there may be a union work rule problem with “Boat Cam”. It involves additional pay for hazardous duty, creative rights, and a percent of profit for all replays. Of course the resolution of this problem may came down to additional rum rations, and a case of Red Stripe.

Barb,
It’s not hard at all to get used to. You could do it, trust me.
We rent here and if I ever have to move out, I’m chaining myself to something and refusing to leave.
Also, I forgot to mention to Jeff when he asked about the pipes that one of them actually contains the Giant Underwater Extension Cord that supplies all the power to St. John from St. Thomas. Hard to believe, but true.

Funny, Ruth, I was going to correct them on the power cord thing, too. That was fun, a few years ago, watching the sunset from your beach with you and Ron. “Don’t touch the line, you’ll shut down all of STJ!!” I truly thought you guys were kidding.
Ya, I could get used to that back yard.

Marcia, the electric cable has been moved since you and Pete were here. It is now on the other end of the beach (as shown in the video) along with the pipes from the desalinization plant, which I believe provide the water input to the plant or soemthing. I’m not actually sure which is which anymore, but I know we need them all!

Ruth,
Hi! I have been tempted many times to stay and make a go of it. Each time I leave it gets harder and harder. I don’t blame you for wanting to chain yourself to stay. Hey maybe squatters rights apply in St. John. Have a great day in the sunshine. I will be there in 29 days YEAH!!! (Is this St. John Spice Ruth?)

I loved Frank Bay when we were on STJ. We stayed at Garden by the Sea and took the trail behind Coconut Coast Studio to the road. It was the very first time I saw the Caribbean. I’ll never forget it.
