Trunk Bay Beach, Virgin Islands National Park

Always heaven. Beautiful blue ocean, clear swimming lagoon, white almost powdery sand, fun free snorkeling *if you bring it. Rent gear & use the bathhouse to rinse & change. Bring cash it's easier here, but cards were accepted at this national park. The taxis, ferry, and local shops wanted cash over credit cards. There were 8 small vessels mooring in the cay, but the beach didn't feel over crowded even during Christmas break. We found out there are many great swimming holes between usvi and bvi, but here didn't have the high winds and rough surf. Wish we had spent more time here as we had 2 days to explore before leaving.

Bucket list beach! White sand, pristine water, clean amenities. About 15 minutes by car from the ferry. Get there by 10 AM to snag parking, and carve yourself a spot in a prime location. Be prepared to pay up, though. They charge a $5 entry fee per person. And the food there is also $$$. But all in all, a must-visit place!
