CRUZ BAY — Canada’s largest online travel company says Trunk Bay on St. John is one of the Top 10 beaches in the world.
FlightNetwork, enlisted more than 600 travel journalists, editors, bloggers and agencies to rate the world’s 50 best beaches, and the National Park beach on St. John beat out beaches in Fiji, Thailand, the Philippines, Australia, Iceland, Hawaii, Italy and Greece.
Trunk Bay was voted the 10th best beach in the world by FlightNetwork. Grace Bay in Turks and Caicos was judged to be the best beach in the world by the company.
“This amazing beach in the U.S. Virgin Islands offers spectacular snorkeling, extraordinary views, and so much more beauty that you have to see it to believe it,” said Michelle from the blog “Making Sense of Cents.”
Trunk Bay
Trunk Bay’s beauty has been so life-changing to so many people that it was donated to the National Park Service more than five decades ago. Today, it remains one of the best-preserved beaches in the world. Venture to Trunk Bay Beach in the US Virgin Islands, where you will find a 205 metre underwater snorkeling trail, roughly .5 of a mile of silky sands and a number of different amenities to make your visit that much more enjoyable. Trunk Bay’s clean and clear waters offer ample opportunities for snapping photos of colourful sea creatures while the smooth coral sands invite weary travelers to throw down a towel and unwind. The tropical location presents an accessible beach escape open to thousands of travelers on the hunt for a perfect playground. This just may be it.
Getting There:
This tropical vacation is not just a place in your dreams but easily accessible to wanderlust venturers. Any major airports will offer flights directly into the U.S. Virgin Islands. You can fly into the Cruz Bay Seaplane Base, located within minutes of Trunk Bay or into the Cyril E. King Airport International Airport on St. Thomas.
Though this airport is a good option for international travelers and those wanting a variety of travel times, you will have to then take a domestic flight to Cruz Bay or lounge on chartered boats and water transportation. Either way, Trunk Bay’s beauties are only moments away while you are already daydreaming of sun-kissed sands and clear blue waters.
