Rendezvous Bay

LOCATION: From downtown Cruz Bay travel east long route 104.

Here you will find a sandy, unspoiled beach east of Cruz Bay. This spot is a favorite anchorage for sailboats.

This is usually a grand spot for charter yachts to stop for swimming and snorkeling. During the week, vacationers on day sails make up the majority of sun-worshippers but on weekends, local yachtsmen add to the mix.

Maho Bay

LOCATION: Four miles beyond downtown Cruz Bay on Route 20, North Shore Road.

Here you can enjoy a sandy beach situated within a protective cove. The celebrated Maho Bay campground property offers a general store, restaurant/bar and water toy rentals. Nearby, you will find Harmony, the newest addition to Maho.  At Harmony, you can rent cottages designed and contructed entirely of recycled materials.

Maho Bay is truly one of the prettiest beaches on this side of St. John. However, do not expect to drive up, get out of your vehicle and step onto the snow-white beach. First of all, you have to travel along a very rocky road to the campground. Then it is time to traverse a rambling array of stairs that (eventually) lead to the beach.
