34. Trunk Bay: US Virgin Islands
Fifty years ago, Laurence S. Rockefeller donated Trunk Bay, along with its beach, to the National Park Service. It is St. John’s most visited beach and has been voted one of the best beaches in the world by Conde Nast Traveler magazine. Get ready for beautiful gleaming white sandy beaches, towering coconut laden palm trees, true aqua blue water and activities like sunbathing, swimming and snorkeling. For better privacy during crowded seasons head west (left as you look at the ocean from the beach). At the end you will find a small stretch of beach. While it isn’t as sunny as the rest, it is the best private space as far as public beach real estate is concerned. You’ll be glad you made the walk!
