Why not waterlemon is it the hike or the swim to the point?

Maho. You might see a starfish. You will definitely see a turtle or two. And, it's not scary. No major tides, no scary big fish (sharks, barracuda, etc ~ unless you go to the nether regions of the bay ~ which I will not do ~ I'm a wimp).

Maho. Maho. Maho. (But don't tell anyone else 'cause I do believe the word is out on this fantastic beach).

Honeymoon!!!

Not only a gorgeous beach....but, we saw 2 of the most incredible Angelfish ever at Honeymoon last year. And always see beautiful Blue Tang.

Aahh......We have got to get Barbados out of the way this April & head back to our true love....St. John.

Yes...it is the rum & coke talking. Just a mellow kind of night!

Love you guys!

Hawksnest center reef really gorgeous elkhorn at the end of the reef. On a calm day you can get two feet from lots of fish, always a huge school of tangs there at least a hundred love to just follow them as they munch away. Also go towards Little Hawksnest all the way to the beach usually see a puffer or two hiding under the ledges.

I am not a good swimmer and need to wear a belt when I snorkel so I am not really very comfortable going far out in the water. Are any of the areas mentioned close in to the shore? Would love so much to see a turtle!!!!! I do get to see lots of little fish etc. but nothing really interesting close to the shoreline.

Blue Cobblestone. We saw tons of fish, healthy coral, crusting sponges up canyon walls, a HUGE spotted eagle ray, lobsters, crabs...just tons of interesting stuff. And we were the only people there!
