I heard the same thing but with the fact that the small boats would do it to get away from the pirates

This is definitely one of our favorite places to go on St. John, Although not a beach with sand, it offers great views and great snorkeling.

The story I heard is that those out on boats would “Haul it over” to the south shore of St. John rather than sail around the East End making their journey shorter.

The story of how Haulover got it’s name was shared with me during my visit. Not sure if it’s true (like all pirate and shipping stories, I guess) but it’s pretty interesting, nonetheless.

Thanks for a good break!
