St. John Day 5 – Cinnamon

Today we decided to return to the north shore and snorkel the famous Cinnamon Bay. The beach is probably the nicest one on the island – a long, smooth beach formed of soft, fine sand, plus calm, crystal-clear waters in the sheltered bay.

Absolutely gorgeous.

The snorkeling here was less exciting – not as much coral and relatively few fish – but the visibility in the water was excellent. Michelle described it as a “Caribbean swimming pool”. At the end of the day, we judged the beach excellent and the swimming mediocre (comparatively to Trunk and Leinster).
