Water Island

Beautiful and exceptionally easy access with the short ride on Water Island Ferry! Highly recommend Heidi’s hillside for food :)

Very nice, I took a water taxi from St Thomas to Water Island to check out honeymoon beach. I brought my own snorkel gear and saw sting rays. Some people said they saw sea turtles but I didnt see any myself. I did see beautiful colored fish. I also rented a go cart, it was $40. I recommend spending a couple hours on the beach the jump on the go cart to drive around the island. Beautiful place. You wont regret going. They do have ATMs on the island, just in case your wondering. Food was good as well.

I can't even begin to tell you how much we loved Water Island! Just 2 moms, kidless, ready for a bit of adventure and relaxation. Took the ferry from Crown Bay, the gentleman who run it are terrific & Kind. When You arrive, you can just walk down to Honeymoon Beach. We rented beach chairs , snorkel gear, and an umbrella, definitely a must. Rent a golf cart for a few hours. The adventure is worth it! We had a speaker and a packed cooler of beverages, and off went went! Get shaved ice from the lovey couple! And have fun! Beep beep! Water was perfectly blue and had sea turtles swimming around. We did not eat at the bar, brought a few snacks. Local musicians showed up around 4ish too! It was our favorite day of our trip.

This was a lovely experience. The 10 minute ferry runs from St. Thomas every hour on the hour. Once we docked on Water Island, Rachel’s Rentals greeted us to take us to the golf cart rental place. We rented a golf cart for the day. We toured Honeymoon Beach which is absolutely gorgeous and then took a stroll to the Fort which is quite neglected and a tad dangerous if not wearing the proper shoes. Then we stopped off and had some shaved ice, said hi to an adorable puppy and bought some local art work. People do live here and it’s interesting to watch how they live their day going to the open air mail drop off right beside the dock, the mini grocery stores, etc. There are some fabulous homes here. It’s a gorgeous island with a “world’s away” laid back attitude. It’s considered the 4th US Virgin Island and if you get a chance to spend the day here, do it.

Rent the golf cart from Rachel’s!! Take a tour of this oasis and stop by the crossings for a beverage and some island made Souvenirs Handmade soap from Water Island a perfect gift. Then off to Honeymoon beach for drinks , food and Fun…..

This place is amazing and a definite must day trip. Rent a golf cart and go explore this small friendly island.

One the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever seen…mainly because I got to swim with turtles! Little bar/restaurant serves food and drinks. It was paradise until the party boat pulled up blaring foul music…kind of messes the beach vibe up…BUT the turtles!!! ❤️❤️❤️🐢 Best snorkeling spot for turtles!!!

Water Island is true paradise. No cars on the island and about 160 residents. It's heaven and I'm returning there when I retire. The people are wonderful me everyone is super cool and nice.
