Haulover Bay

So as I said in my last blog, I kept the best for last!

Haulover Bay is located on the very east end of St. John past Coral Bay. It’s a bit of a drive, about 40 minutes, from Cruz Bay (the west end of St. John) but so worth it! Crazy how the island is only 9 miles long from end to end but with all the steep hills and switchback curves you have to take it slow. And so why not just enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way!

Once you reach Haulover, there is only street parking but since few people even venture there you can usually get a spot. You will see a beach to the south which is south Haulover which has decent snorkeling but where you will find the most incredible underwater beauty is taking a small path to north Haulover.

You will need swim shoes if you don’t use fins (like me) to enter the narrow, rocky path into the water. Then you will encounter an underwater paradise! Get ready for the photo dump 🤗 Can you find the stingray?

And my absolute favorite picture which I wish I could paint:

Everyone….if you ever have the opportunity to come to St. John, please snorkel the north side of Haulover!!! Pictures are great but to experience it live is something you will always remember and cherish!

Hi, I’m Rose. I am a single dental hygienist with grown children who lives/works part time in the States and part time on St. John, US Virgin Islands. I also love to travel. I would have stories about things that would happen either on St John or the various places I’ve visited. Many of my stories would be about unusual things that people in the states are not used to and some where a picture painted a thousand words. So when my friends encouraged me to write a blog, I was hesitant. Would anyone read it? The advice given: those who care will read it and those who do not care, don’t worry about. Here’s my blog for those who care to know me a little better and sometimes get a good laugh or just want to see what island life is all about.
