Review:
Francis Bay beach is one of rare St. John beaches that stays wide regardless of tide. Long and white, with powder-fine sand, it is spacious and has plenty of shade. It is great family beach, with superb swimming and snorkeling, and it is almost never crowded.
Snorkeling is good on each side of Francis Bay but the eastern side offers a bit more diversity of marine life, with sea fans, tangs, parrot fish, and reef squid. There are a few picnic tables, but not much more. The Francis Bay Trail runs along the beach and a salt pond that is home to many birds.
