Sorry I initially posted this on the BVI forum, I guess I’m a geographically challenged West Coaster. Anyway, at Caneel Bay what does the designation “adult beaches” mean? Does it mean there are some options regarding attire? I’ve also seen a lot of comments about the privacy of the beaches. Is there enough privacy for discreet expressions of affection?

Adult beaches at Caneel mean no kids allowed. Caneel has seven beaches, adults only at two with kids allowed on all the others.

Clothes are required. Definately not private enough for discreet expressions of affection. Caneel (and St. John in general) is very conservative.

I have heard rumors about Solomon Beach being known as the unofficial nude beach but can't speak from experience.
