Latest reviews on United States Virgin Islands's beaches

Santa Maria Bay beach
10 Xavier Mitchell

We had a fantastic time at this place. It is split into two rentals that have a very similar appearance, and we were assigned the one on the right. The view is absolutely stunning, and both beaches in the two nearby coves are consistently deserted. The water is crystal clear with no presence of seaweed. The house itself is lovely and reasonably priced, and overall, our experience was delightful. We will definitely be returning in the future!

Prince Ruperts Cove
10 Annie D

This beach is a great place to escape to with its breathtaking scenery.

Little Bay beach
10 Jasper de Hoogte

This seaside spot boasts an impressive expanse of water that stretches out into the distance. However, don't be fooled by its majestic appearance - taking a dip in these depths comes with a hefty dose of danger. So, if you're feeling adventurous, go ahead and take the plunge. Just know that you're doing so at your own peril.

Jumbie beach
10 Samantha Greene

A helpful hint: visit this beach when Trunk Bay is crowded. I practically had the whole place to myself except for another couple. The water is crystal clear and ideal for swimming and snorkeling. It's a hidden treasure.

Brewers Bay beach
10 Lila McAllister

This beach has a stunning panorama of the airport runway, making it a perfect spot for plane enthusiasts to catch a glimpse of take-offs and landings. Additionally, there is a vast expanse of seaweed to explore. During our visit, we were fortunate enough to witness two sizable sea turtles and stingrays at twilight. The sunset view is also breathtaking, making this beach a must-visit destination.

Oppenheimer beach
10 Nathanial Kowalski

The location of Oppenheimer Beach on Google Maps is inaccurate, but it is still a wonderful beach.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 5 beaches in the country, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.
