The turquoise color of the water is amazing. FYI: The overhead shots were taken from a house called The Retreat. Dreekets Bay, below. 36 Responses to “Beach Break: Dreekets Bay” |

Wow! Wednesday’s beach break is a must. That’s why I’m sending my pithy comment.
September 12th, 2007 15:43
Had never heard of it, despite my dozens of visits to the Island. Thanks

Just what I needed!!!!! after a very hard day at work. Keep the Beach Breaks coming Wednesday’s usually are very hard days.
September 12th, 2007 16:21
Love it! Just got married on your beautiful island and missing it already… don’t take away your beach breaks, it’s all I have for now.
September 12th, 2007 16:32
gratuitous comment…
September 12th, 2007 17:58
Thanks for the Beach Break, Jeff and Russ! Cool house, also. I don’t actually think I’ve ever been that far out on the East End.

Great job, as usual, guys. Thank you! Say, could you do a splash of a map with an arrow pointing to the beach at the beginning of the videos? I’ve never heard of Dreekets and am curious where it is (and how to get to it, of course).

What natural beauty!! Absolutely love the soundtrack, I wish I could play it all night to sleep to. Gotta love Wednesdays, I look forward to Beach Break all week!
Looking forward to the Jeep Cam – Beep Beep!
September 12th, 2007 21:35
Thanks for the beach break. Now we just need one more comment to make a nice, even thirty.
September 13th, 2007 07:18
Okay, I’ll fill the void. Very cool beach break and I love the house! I wonder if I have a spare million or two to buy it?
September 13th, 2007 09:08
I had the pleasure of snorkeling at Drekeets twice last month. It has become my all time favorite snorkel spot.
Love your website. Our house on “the other island” is finally complete–27 months after breaking ground. Here’s to island time…
September 13th, 2007 10:28
Very relaxing and beautiful! Thank you! I have considered staying at The Retreat. I think it looks great!
I can’t wait for the jeepcams!!
September 13th, 2007 14:00
When is snorkelcam coming? Great beach break today. Thanks. Anyone sweating TD8 there? I am. I knew Sept would be risky!!! Fingers crossed in CO
September 14th, 2007 08:53
Beautiful beach. Thanks!
It would be helpful if you included a short clip of a St. John map with a red x locating the beach. Then we could get a better idea of what we’re looking at and where.
Thanks,

Just when I think I’ll do something different for Easter this year….you go and whet my appetite and remind me why our family has been coming down for the past 5 yrs in a row

While traveling away from home (St. John) to Sao Paulo, Brazil, the worlds thrid largest city …. I REALLY needed this beach break. by the way, it is also know as Haul Over, due to the fact that in the olden days, when only sail existed, it was faster to haul your boat over from the north side of the island to the south side. It is the isthmus ofn St. John.
