When you go on a USVI vacation, one of the places you're bound to visit is the beach. The palms, the sands, and the crystal waters all provide that true island experience, and in the USVIs, there are countless shores for you to visit. Which ones should you prioritize? Here are some of the best beaches in the U.S. Virgin Islands that you need to see.
Being the longest beach in St. John, Cinnamon Bay is a must-visit location for active travelers. It's one of the best USVI beaches for water sports and is located next to a shaded hiking trail. History lovers will be fans, too, as there's a small Danish home near the water that's actually a temporary museum packed with archeological wonders excavated from the Virgin Islands National Park.
Trunk Bay Beach is arguably the most beautiful beach in St. John, with powdery sands, tranquil waters, and a forest of palms. It's only natural that Trunk Bay's beauty is so well-maintained, as it's part of the Virgin Islands National Park. In addition to relaxing on shore and wading in the shallows, you can take the Trunk Bay snorkeling trail and explore the corals and sea life.
As the most popular beach on St. Thomas, Magens Bay has soft sand and comfortably warm waters surrounded by a lush green forest. While often busy, this beach is very family-friendly. Unlike many other USVI beaches, it features amenities like picnic tables, food vendors, changing rooms, and lifeguards, making it a safe and convenient place to play.
On St. Croix’s northern shore, you'll find Cane Bay, a palm-lined beach with rough waters. Cane Bay isn't ideal for swimming or sunbathing, but that’s not what most travelers visit it for. This beach is famous for the Cane Bay Wall, a coral-covered seawall that's prime for snorkeling and diving.
