St. John Beach Oscars
St. John Beach Oscars
There was a topic on the "other forum" regarding Trunk Bay, and whether or not it was a beach worthy of a visit from an overseas "beach lover". There were many replies singing the praises of beaches other than Trunk, and it got me thinking about giving awards to the beaches of St. John.
Feel free to dispute my list or add your own awards. Let's face it, every beach on STJ is special in some way.

The winner of "I do not want to be around too many people, but I still want to be on the north shore" goes to Jumbie.
This may change with the new trail that was just put in, but I guess it gets it for now.
My personal favorite is that spot on the west side of Maho under that tree by the black rocks.
