Located on the northeastern shore of beautiful St. John Island (the smallest of the US Virgin Islands), Brown Bay is popular for being quite remote and quiet – a place where you may be lucky enough to have the entire beach to yourself. Of course there is a good reason why this beach is secluded – you will need to take a bit of a hike to reach it. Your route follows the Brown Bay Trail and should take you around 30mins each way. You will be rewarded for your efforts by a soft sandy beach which offers plenty of shade, lapped by the warm tropical waters of the Caribbean. Snorkeling is possible along the eastern part of the beach.
