In my opinion, the most beautiful beach in the world. I'm a little biased though since it was the beach I was married on! We were warned of the locals, but have never had a problem with them. If you are quiet and respectful you are left to enjoy the peacefulness you need.

Gibney Beach is one of the the most beautiful beaches on St. John, no doubt about it. However, the residents can become quite disturbed if you decide to lounge and/or place your chair on the beach in front of their cottages. Although the beach and the water is for public use, the "landscaping", we were told, is maintained by the... More

Not the easiest beach to find parking on but when we saw a spot we grabbed it! Note, little parking=YOU have the beach almost to yourself. This beach can be reserved for private events & when the iron gate is opened (by reservation) you can drive right down to the palm tree sheltered beach and have a party, abundant parking... More

This is our favorite beach on StJ. We get there early to secure one of the coveted parking spots, bring our lunch, a few cold beers, our snorkeling gear and beach chairs and spend the day relaxing and floating in the surf (there are actually waves!) and splayed out under the palms. Probably not so good for kids as it... More

This little gem is hidden away, but truly an awesome find! Beautiful beach with not a lot of people!! Park to the left of the iron gate if they're not taken and walk down.

This was a fabulous, romantic, private, secluded beach. Gentle surf, powdery sand, coconut palms overhead, and less than a dozen people on over a quarter a mile of beach. Crystal clear water and great snorkeling. Next time I am in St. John please don't go here so that it stays as uncrowded and magical as it was this trip.

In St John you find a beach that you could sit on every day of your life, this is that beach! With just a few cottages on the beach and few places to park sometimes it is only you on this beach. St John is a wonderful place and I thank my husband every day for Sharing with me.
