My wife and I took the ferry over to Water Island and it was great! Firstly, if you have a car, make sure you go up to the marina office and get a parking pass for $5 or they might tow your car. We got the pass and they were very nice and explained where to park. Once parked, we... More

There are many things to really love about this beach. The water is extremely clear, the beach area is really nice, they have free umbrellas and seating, there is food and drink available, adequate restroom facilities, and its free (If you don't count the ferry cost to get to Water Island). The only negative is the nearly 30 minute ferry... More

We stopped at Honeymoon as part of a cruise excursion... it was a snorkel trip to turtle cove, and the captain added a stop at Honeymoon on the way back. I love beaches like this... very "primitive"... we had lunch cooked by a lady w/ a tent and gas grill on the beach... had to swim into the beach from... More

We took a 20 minute scenic hike (wear tennis shoes) to Honeymoon Beach in St. John- we took our cooler and towels. There was about 6-10 people at any one time so we vertually had the beach to ourselves. The weather had been raining the last two days so the ocean was a bit choppy. When i was there a... More

Honeymoon Beach on Water Island is one of the most beautiful beaches I've ever been on. It has soft white sand, and calm, clear blue water. It is accessible by boat or ferry only, so it's always quiet and sparsely crowded - except for the occasional cruise ship excursion. You can get to Water Island by boat or by ferry.... More

I read reviews about this locale before deciding to put it on my to-do list. It is a beach away from the hordes coming off the cruise ships, but it is lacking in amenities. The water is calm and splashable, but it fell short of what I was expecting.

Only accessible by water taxi (Outside Tickles Dockside Pub in the Crown Bay Marina. The beach photo says it all; but bring bug spray as the "no see-ums" are always out and hungry! Monday night movie on the beach; Lunch daily; and candlelight dinners on Saturday (great food by Heidi).
