Maho Bay

St John


The water here is shallow and less choppy than elsewhere (good for snorkeling and kids), and it’s a good bet you’ll see green sea turtles in the early morning or late afternoon, and maybe a stingray or two. There's a parking lot and a changing room, as well as a bar, a food truck and water-sports rentals. Maho can get crowded (especially after 11am), but never overwhelmingly so.
