The actual land that Caneel is on is owned by the National Park Service (that's you, taxpayers), hence their responsibility to offer public access.

Lovermont - Our experience was sort of similar. After the dock master asked us what were doing there, and I told him we were just there for a drink, he "suggested" that we go to Cruz Bay for happy hour. I declined, and we proceeded to get out of the boat (which was very difficult because h...
