Charter on of the several boats that take guests to snorkel the underwater coral trail and then relax and explore the spectacular beach.

A must do. A lot of boats available to charter you there right in town!

It's an island adventure

You can snorkel the amazing underwater trail, swim, walk on the beach, or hike a trail on the island to scenic views. This 174-acre island is 2 miles off St. Croix (it’s the island visible from our front terrace). Accessible by boat; Big Beards Adventures can get you there on their full-day or half-day sails and will provide snorkel gear and a BBQ lunch!

This is a special place. Glorious beach, hiking trails, and an underwater monument. You'll need to go with a tour company (we recommend Big Beard's) or to charter a trip with a private captian.
