We are booking a reservation at Caneel Bay and are interested in knowing some specifics about Caneel Bay' 7 beaches. Is there anyone who has visited there able to give some specific info about the beaches? Size? water conditions? privacy? Good for walking?Thanks much!!

I have been to Caneel.

The beaches are very quiet. About 5 to 15 people on each beach. Unlike Trunk Bay which is a zoo!

The water is calm at all the beaches, all are safe for swimming.

They are not very big as I recall, maybe 300 to 500 yards.

Hi

The beaches are fantastic...favorites out of the 7: Turtle (most secluded, small), Scott, Hawksnest - good snorkeling/swimming at all of these & at Caneel beach proper too. The only beach which didn't excite me so much was Honeymoon - not quite as pretty, more biting insects for some reason.

Can't wait to go back to Caneel.

My husband and I are going to Caneel the first week of June. What type of weather should we expect?
