Honeymoon was definitely our favorite of all the beaches. No matter what time of the day we went we were able to snag a spot under a tree. There are chairs for rent and snacks available for purchase. The water is beautiful and the close proximity to Caneel Bay Resort was convenient.

The entire area was absolutely beautiful. Snorkeling was average with few colorful fish or coral. Saw a large Barracuda. All off Honeymoon Beach, St. John's island.

We stopped here to snorkel but there were not a lot of fish or turtles. The beach is sandy and the water is clear aqua. A lovely place for a picnic. There are shade trees. No facilities...

It's just a nice, quiet beach--nothing fancy. But it is absolutely gorgeous--a typical white sand beach at Caneel.

We parked at the top of the hill and walked down, feeling we had earned our snorkel at the bottom of the hill at the beach. There was no one there. Aah, paradise. We put on our gear, got in the water, saw one fish and then several hired sailing vessels showed up and disgourged about 50 people onto the... More

While this is a beautiful beach, it was a bit to crowded for my liking, there hammocks were barely above the ground (so when you sit in them, you ram your rear into the ground) and there were some large trucks passing by the little road that's practically on the beach. It's relatively small but was way too loud, so... More

The water is a clear and beautiful blue. Soft sand. Sit on the shore and soak in the beauty of the neighboring islands. My eyeballs were smiling because of the utter beauty!

Have a nice lunch at Caneel Bay resort and walk on over to Honeymoon Bay for a nice swim in this beautiful bay. You might just see some donkeys on the way.

Beach is very small and seemed very dark. There is no comparison verses Scott's beach and Turtle beach. I would not go to Honeymoon beach as the other two blow this one away.
