Turquoise waters, silky white sand and radiant sunshine are key ingredients in any relaxing seaside vacation. Throw in a happy hour starting at 9 a.m.
and you have a recipe for the best beach on the planet. Welcome to Trunk Bay, recently awarded top spot on the list of The World’s 50 best beaches by travel experts. Situated on St.
John, one of three Caribbean islands comprising the U.S. Virgin Islands, Trunk Bay is seen as a haven for adventurers.
An underwater snorkelling trail is lush with colourful marine life and vibrant coral reefs. Joseph Boschulte, commissioner of the USVI Department of Tourism, says, “Trunk Bay and the many beaches across the U.S.
Virgin Islands hold a special place in the hearts of those who call our beautiful islands home as well as our returning visitors. We have long regarded our beaches as some of the best in the world, and this recognition helps us share that with the world.” Each island gives off a distinct yet inviting vibe, says Anna Rossetto, of Development Counsellors International, an agency representing USVI’s tourism bureau.
“St. Thomas is the most cosmopolitan and St. John is the wildest one, and in St.
Croix the food scene is really emerging,” says Rossetto. “USVI is the only place in the Caribbean that celebrates with three major carnivals a year and it’s not super busy that you can’t enjoy it,” she adds. “The biggest selling point is that you can escape here all year round.
