Hiking and snorkeling spots
Snorkeling
#1 snorkeling spot on St John, and for good reason. Gentle hike and a stunning cay, mix of seagrass and coral, sand and cobblestones. When leaving coral bay and heading into North beaches area head to Maho until it turns into a single lane. Follow it until you come to a Y intersection. Bear right- signs for Annaberg and Leinster Waterlemon Cay. There is a parking area about 500 yards down. The hike is flat and about a half mile each way. Caution!!! Do not go when it is windy. The current can be strong.

Maho Bay Beach
Great snorkeling to the right side of the bay. Lots of grass and sea turtles.
More remote but close to cottage. Park at Hansen Bay beach lot- just past where the road splits around an ancient boxwood tree. Great seas grass beds. Good spot to spot turtles.
