Trunk Bay*

*Surprisingly, Trunk Bay in St John does not make the top of our list of the best places to see the turtles on St John VI, although you might get lucky and see a turtle, it’s more likely to see various fish and other see life. Tt is a great beach for swimming and lounging, with crystal blue water and powdery white sand – just not that many turtles.

Remember no touching!! 
View from afar and give them plenty of room!! We are in their environment, so please respect them to observe but not interfere.
