Review:
Salt Pond Bay beach is a protected cove with fine white sand, offering some of the best snorkeling in St. John. Many people come to the beach using the hiking trail because it is so beautiful. The beach is crescent shaped and sunny, always enjoying a light breeze from the sea. Shallow water access makes this a great spot for swimmers. Most of the time the water is calm and there is no much surf because of the cove’s protected location. Snorkelers can expect to spot sea turtles, giant hermit crabs living inside of conch shells, rays, and schools of fish. The best snorkeling is around the rock hump in the middle of the bay.
