Where can Grandma find a Turtle and lots of Sea Stars?
Leaving for our first time to St John tomorrow morning at 5! Grandma has just announced that she absolutely must see a turtle and that she has always dreamed of seeing sea stars. Not just one sea star, she wants to see them everywhere (I don't know if thats even possible...)
Any snorkeling spots or beaches where we are virtually gauranteed to see at least a turtle?

Yes...as others have mentioned, the trick to seeing turtles is to hang out in the middle of bays where there's (aptly named) turtle grass. This can get boring, since there's not that much else out in the middle of the bays to look at! You can also keep an eye out for their little heads popping up occasionally to take a breath...that can help you locate them as well.
Our sure-fire turtle-spotting locations are Francis (in the middle of the bay) and Salt Pond Bay, along the rocky lefthand side of the bay.
