Review:
Frank Bay Beach is located on the other side of the point from Cruz Bay, St John’s main port. Reaching it is an easy walk along Wharfside Village, past the old cemetery. It is one of the longest beaches on St. John, so you can always find a quiet, private spot. The beach faces west, leeward of the trade winds, so the water is calmer than at other north shore beaches and is perfect for swimming, especially for kids. Snorkeling is also great, and you can see jacks, Spanish mackerel, yellowtail snapper, barracuda, tarpon, parrotfish, blue tang, eels, conch, stingrays, and sea turtles.
The western end of Frank Bay Beach towards Maho is perfect for beginner snorkelers. Francis Beach is also great for paddleboarding because the water is so calm. The beach has toilets, trash cans, and picnic tables but no bars or restaurants.
