Trunk Bay

U.S. Virgin Islands, ST. JOHN

Trunk Bay epitomizes the ideal Caribbean getaway. Visitors rave about the incredibly soft sand and the crystal-clear waters that resemble a serene pool. What truly sets Trunk Bay apart, though, is its breathtaking location within the Virgin Islands National Park. There are no high-rise hotels or noisy commercial activities, allowing lush vegetation and local wildlife to thrive in a picturesque setting. This also means it is shielded it from the Caribbean trade winds, creating calm waters that are perfect for a swimming and snorkeling. 

Named after the native Leatherback turtle, affectionately called "trunks," Trunk Bay also boasts a vibrant coral reef that draws snorkelers eager to explore the colorful marine life and the unique underwater snorkeling trail. 

To round things out, Trunk Bay also offers all the amenities for a perfect day in the sun, including restrooms, showers, and a snack bar.
