Located on St. John's north shore, this is one of Caneel Bay's seven secluded beaches.

We made a great stop at Scott Beach at Caneel Bay during our VI Ecotours kayak tour last week. It was an easy paddle from Honeymoon Beach and virtually empty with Caneel Bay Resort still closed and with no available land access to the beach. We had stayed in one of the rooms on Scott Beach the summer before the 2017 hurricanes, and it was incredibly sad to see these rooms completely destroyed and still not rebuilt. Fortunately, the beach remains pristine (it's my favorite on St. John) and can still be accessed from the water. After relaxing on the white sand soaking in the sun, we snorkeled in the clear, calm water and spotted five sea turtles. After continuing down to the rocks at the south end of the beach, we spotted stingrays and a octopus. There also is a rock ledge on the north end of the beach with lots of fish that you can see close up in very shallow water. All and all, it's a great location to visit by boat or kayak if you plan on visiting Honeymoon Beach.

It was so nice to spend a day here. We took the ferry over from Red Hook where we were staying, and hiked the Lind Point trail over to Solomen's Beach and Honeymoon Beach. Beautiful sand, water, snorkeling. Tasty drinks at beach bar. They even had music under a tent the day we visited. A trip highlight for sure.

We went snorkeling here with Rumbaba Charter. It was fantastic visibility and we saw plenty of fish and coral. We started out by going to the right while facing the shore and saw 2 Eagle Rays, 2 Southern Sting Rays and several turtles. After that, we went toward the left where we found a decent sized reef with different types of coral and fish. Some highlights were Scrawled File Fish, Cow Fish, lots of Parrot Fish, Grey Angel, Yellow-Tailed Damsel, and many more. My understanding is that one can only get there by boat because the resort at Caneel Bay is now closed due to hurricane damage.
