This is a "dream" beach! Movie perfect and "ready for it's close-up". Seeing the turtles is a rare treat! More

We visited the beginning of April, 82 degrees, and about 8 people total on this adults' only beach. The beach is protected, beautiful white sand, and sapphire water. Lots of turtles to view while snorkeling. Our very favorite St. John beach. More

We loved the variety of coral reefs to snorkel and explore. We also liked that there were no children under the age of 12 allowed at this beach, so it was much more quiet and secluded from the others. More

The water was beautiful and the beach sand was soft underfoot. There weren't many people around so it was relaxing and peaceful. We had some shade which was needed during the afternoon. More

Title says it all.... This is a long, gorgeous beach that is supposed to be for adults only (i.e. children must be 12 years or older). It's very quiet. More
