This is our FAVORITE place when we’re in St Thomas. Technically it is in St John (neighboring island with 60% of it protected as Virgin Islands National Park). Once we got off the ship at Havensight/West Indian Co. Dock (St Thomas), we took a taxi to Red Hook (~$10/p) then took the Ferry over to Cruz Bay, St John ($7/adult), and then another taxi from Cruz Bay (St John) to Trunk Bay Beach. One note: the ferry goes out on top of the hour (every hour).

First impression as soon as saw the beach: Wow it is GORGEOUS!! It is just as pretty as the professional pics you see. One of our ALL-TIME favorite beaches we’ve ever been to!!! Once we got there, we walked to the right side, almost to the end. There was hardly anyone there and had almost the whole section of the beach to ourselves. EXCELLENT Snorkeling. Saw fish as big as 3 foot big, and schools of fish all around me, all directions. Simply beautiful. We did not want to leave!! But we had to keep in mind all the taxi’ing and ferry back to not miss the ship (so we left at least earlier than normal to not take any chances).

Overall, lots of transport time (taxi’ing and ferry etc) but well worth it!!!
