The beaches are as unique as the Islands themselves.  St. Thomas's Sapphire Beach is known for it's volley ball tournaments and annual chili cook out.  St. Croix's Cramer Park Beach is known for camping and great family fun and St. John's Trunk bay is home to world famous underwater snorkeling trails.

While you are enjoying our wonderful beaches, here are a few tips:   Sun worshippers should be aware of our tropical sun especially during the mid-day hours. Twenty minutes and a good suntan lotion with an SPF (sun protection factor) of 15 or more is recommended for the first few days.

When snorkeling, wear a shirt to protect your back from overexposure to the sun.

Many beaches such as Hawksnest beach, on the Island of St. John, are nesting sites for endangered sea turtles. Please be careful not to disturb the nests found near the surface in the sand.

So with these helpful hints and tips, I hope you enjoy a wonderful day at the beach.
