Loading ...Ever walk out onto a beach and there is nowhere to put your towel? Well, weekdays especially, you won’t find a problem at Francis Bay. Francis is one of the longest beaches on St John, where you simply have to walk a little to the right or left and you will find plenty of room to stretch out and enjoy the afternoon. There are some picnic tables along the beach.
There are portable bathroom facilities located near the parking area, but besides that, don’t expect too much more. You can head over to Maho Bay Camp to rent some things like snorkeling equipment.
And renting or bringing your own snorkeling equipment may be just the thing you want to do. According to the St John Beach Guide, the diversity of fish, seabirds, coral and other life in Francis Bay is quite abundant. Look carefully and you may find things along the reef that you can’t see on other beaches.
The Francis Bay Trail runs along this Bay and a salt pond, where you can find good bird watching early in the morning and just before sunset.
