On a calm day, it can easily be incorporated with other stops around St. Thomas and St. John.
Water Island is home to Honeymoon beach which is a beautiful, long, white sand beach with beach chairs and a variety of beach games like horseshoes, corn-hole and ladder-ball. If you get hungry or want to grab a cocktail, there are a few places to eat and grab drinks on the beach such as Heidi’s Honeymoon Grill and Dinghy’s Beach Bar and Grill.

There isn’t any hint of a town on Water Island- no hotels, shops or gas stations making it a very quiet, peaceful and beautiful place although it can tend to be a popular hangout when there are multiple cruise ships in St. Thomas.
