Discovering a Deserted Beach Bar in the US Virgin Islands
Tagged: beach bar, caribbean, us virgin islands, usvi, water island
One of our favorite videographers on YouTube, Captain Birch, recently released a video of an abandoned/deserted beach bar on Water Island in the US Virgin Islands. For those of you who don’t know, Water Island is the oft forgotten fourth island in the USVI. Located just across the West Gregerie Channel off the southern coast of St. Thomas (or about 1.5 miles southeast of the airport terminal), Water Island is the fourth largest...
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...

The beachfront structure, seemingly built to be temporary, appears to be serving its purpose, if one can judge based...

One of the surprises on our last trip to St. John in the US Virgin Islands was the beach bar at Trunk Bay. For some reason, it had never come up in my research on the area so I hadn’t planned on visiting it. I happened to spot it on the way out of the beach and immediately regretted not finding it sooner. While the bar doesn’t actually sit on the beach, if it wants to call itself a beach bar, we’re going to let it....
News of St. John Announces Details on Reopening of The Beach Bar
Tagged: beach bar, caribbean, cruz bay, st. john, us virgin islands, usvi
It looks like the reopening of The Beach Bar, located on Cruz Bay in St. John, isn’t just big news for beach bar bums but for the island well. It’s big enough news, at least, to prompt News of St. John to post an article on a Friday evening (prime happy hour time) announcing that the Beach Bar had scheduled its reopening date. Granted, I would figure out a way to jolt myself out of a deep slumber if I was somehow informed mid-sleep...
