St. John Beaches Maho Bay
 

Maho Bay

Maho Bay

Maho Bay is a long beautiful, white sand beach. It is close to the road so access is easy, however roadside parking is limited. Boaters often frequent Maho on weekends. The bay is calm and sheltered. Seagrass beds in this shallow bay provide food for green sea turtles, which are seen often in the early morning and late afternoons. The water is relatively shallow and deepens gradually making it great for children. Maho Bay is often sparsely populated on weekdays so finding a quiet spot for yourself is easy.

Great swimming beach

Maho is one of my favorite beaches on the island for simply swimming and playing in the waves. The view from the beach is stunning, the view from the water back toward to beach is tropical bliss.

The powder sand beaches are soft on your feet--no coral or urchins in the swimming area.

The beach area is long, not wide, so get there early to nab a good spot.

We went last spring with our teenaged kids and all four of us played in the water for three hours, just swimming and surfing the waves.

Great kids beach...

Best Beach for kids on the island, no doubt. Have fun trying to park! Not as pretty as some of the other beaches on the island but it only takes about 10 mins to get over that. Why? It's still friggin beautiful & way less people venture past Cinnamon.
