Beach Thursday Pic of the Week – Trunk Bay, St. John, US Virgin Islands
Tagged: beach thursday, st. john, us virgin islands, usvi
When it comes to beaches, there are few that can top Trunk Bay, located on St. John in the US Virgin Islands (it even has its own beach bar!). Prior to Hurricane Irma, palm trees lined this beach like very few others I’ve been to, offering a barrier between the beach bums that took shelter there and the real world. The water, as it is elsewhere in the Caribbean, was marvelously blue and the sand as soft and white as you would expect...

That’s one of the most significant wonders of a sunset...

Located just outside the frame of this picture, I spent many hours perched on one of its colorful stools, watching cruise ships and sunsets pass by...

Tagged: beach thursday, bermuda
Whether or not Bermuda and is beaches can be considered part of the Caribbean is a subject that comes up quite often in discussions. While it’s clear that geographically, it’s outside the region generally considered to be the Caribbean, there’s no doubt that it shares many of the characteristics of its cousins to the southwest.
