Honeymoon Beach

Truly paradise! Best beach I've ever been to!!! We hiked on from Cruz bay on the high trail to take in Lind point overlook and stopped by Salomon beach on the way back. Beach was not crowded but your mileage may vary as they do bus in cruise passengers which could quickly change that!

Getting there was an adventure in itself - ferry from St. Thomas to St. John's, a bus ride from the ferry to the gates, followed by a shuttle that drops you right at the beach. The facilities? Let’s just say they’re functional, but don’t expect anything fancy. Still, once you set eyes on the beach, any minor inconveniences melt away. This place is pure paradise, even with the water a bit clouded from recent storms. It’s still one of the best beaches I’ve ever been to - a peaceful atmosphere that makes it feel like your own private escape. And here’s a surprise: there’s an on-site bar! A little unexpected for a national park, but hey, no complaints here. Sipping a cold drink with that view? Perfection. It wasn’t crowded at all during our visit, which made it even better. The few people we did chat with were laid-back and friendly, adding to the welcoming vibe. If you’re looking for a quiet, picturesque spot to relax, this beach is absolutely worth the trip.

No hiking required if you park at Caneel Bay and take the $12 shuttle to and from Honeymoon beach. The chair rental is $25 for the day. Don't pay the $75 fee for a server and a chair. The same crew takes your orders regardless of how much you pay at the gate. The beach is very peaceful and we found a family of sea turtles feeding off the beach so bring some snorkeling gear.

Great beach. You will have to hike from downtown or from the parking area up the hill from town. The hike from the parking area is 20 minutes down and 15 minutes up. Beach has a bar and rental place that looked like it was opening back up soon. If so, there will be a lot of people at the beach from boats. Snorkeling boats stop here in the mid morning for about an hour.

Was here 5 years ago and The experience of this beach was vastly different. Caneel bay resort has taken over the beach. DO NOT PARK AT CANEEL BAY. Do not give them your money. I get that their resort was hit by the hurricane in 2017 but they are praying on tourists. They will tell you that you can't hike or walk to honeymoon beach in order for them to sell you on a shuttle, chairs, etc. you can in fact park at the US National park service and hike the trail to the beach. I recommend other beaches on the island until these parasites are out of business.

Close to the ferry, magnificent beach. Warm water, white sand, perfect to enjoy a day. Rent a snorkel, paddle board amd kayak and discover the surroundings. You need to pay $10 round trip for an obligatory shuttle

Super romantic and private location with the perfect name! It is currently (as of 2/13/22) ONLY accessible by hiking. The resort that had parking has closed, and they aren’t currently offering the golf cart shuttles from parking to Honeymoon beach (and the lot is closed). All the bars/businesses right on the beach are also closed. For the purpose of having a lovely, private beach to swim, snorkel and lay out, it is well worth the hike!

Beautiful beach with nice clear water. Would recommend following the trail from the road as it's a short hike through nature. It was not busy when we went around 11 AM but it was a quiet week on the island.
