Create an itinerary including Jumbie Beach
Head to Jumbie Beach, a small, secluded beach with ideal snorkeling conditions. The pristine shores of this untouristed spot include fine white sands and crystal clear waters, backed by a lush forest. Bring a book and relax while you catch some sun, or escape the heat by nesting under one of the trees that fringe the coast. A wooden walkway leading from the main road makes this beach easily accessible, yet it remains refreshingly free of crowds. Swimmers should approach with caution on windy days, as the water can be very choppy and deepen quickly. There are only a few roadside parking spots, so plan accordingly.

  • Jumbie is one of our favorite beaches on St John. Even with recent high surf in the area, we always have a relaxing time here.

  • This is a more private beach, so we saved it for when the bigger ones were full. It's nearby Trunk Bay beach which is beautiful but gets filled up as the day goes on. This one only has five parking...

  • Secluded bay a short hike from the road, maybe 150 meters. It's opposite the Trunk Bay beach. We were here in mid August with no cruise ships in St Thomas at the time, and had this small beach to ourselves all afternoon. Trunk Bay beach parking was full. The water was great for snorkeling, saw lots of fish and several sting rays. I saw five little rays all together near the rocks at the east point. Downside was the heavy mat of sargassum on the beach. Some ants, but not bad. Bring deet mosquito repellent. You can find a bit of shade from the trees and bushes on the beach.
  • Quiet tucked away beach with easy access with a short hike down the trail.
