331.0. "CO Info Request: St. Thomas & St. John?" by 29HAND::SEGAL (Len Segal, MLO6-1/U30, 223-7687) Sat Aug 10 1991 15:32

     Does anyone  have  any  info on CO beaches in St.  Thomas?  We'll be
     vacationing there in  October  and  it  would  be  nice to find some
     secluded beaches.  St.    John's  info would also be appreciated, as
     we'll probably make a side trip over there as well.
     
     Thanks,
     
     Len
     
     P.S.    Any  updated  status   on  rebuilding  in  USVI  (after  the
     devastation of Hugo) would also be appreciated.

331.1Honeymoon Beach, Saint John U.S.V.I.MARX::CARTERFri Dec 13 1991 19:3532
    Well, this response is a little late for Len, but I just returned from
    Saint John.
    
    Honeymoon Beach, which is located about half way between Cruz Bay and
    Caneel Bay is said to be clothing optional.  It certainly was while we
    were there in late November this year.
    
    The beach is about a hundred yards long, with nice white sand.  The
    water gets deep fairly quickly.  Waist deep is not far off the beach. 
    At high tide there is only a narrow strip of beach, maybe three feet
    wide in places, but at low tide the beach is 15 or more feet wide.  This 
    in an area where the differnce between high tideand low tide is about 
    1 foot.  
    
    It was not crowded, most of the folks there seemed to
    have come ashore off boats, but I did see a couple of locals.
    
    We dropped the anchor about 150 yards off the beach on Sunday, in forty 
    feet of water and used the skiff to go ashore.  On Sunday we swam around the
    boat, and also at the beach itself.  We spend a good amount of time in
    the water again on Monday, both near the boat and at the beach.  
    
    Monday night we had at least two sharks swimming around the boat.  They
    were not real LARGE sharks, only about six feet long.  I left to come
    back here on Tuesday, and there was still at least one shark circling
    the boat at 7a.m.
    
    None of saw sharks during the time we were in the water, either near
    the boat or on the beach.  Maybe this could be another way for
    folks to get points on the naturism quiz, eh?
