Trunk Bay

This is Trunk Bay, rumored to be the most beautiful beach in the Virgin Islands. Having only seen a couple of the beaches, I can't say for sure, but it definitely looked lovely from above. And it was definitely one of the most photographed beaches - every postcard stand had several variations of this shot. We thought about snorkeling there, but our taxi driver thought Leinster Bay would be less crowded (it was!) and that the snorkeling would be better. We were glad we followed his advice, but we were also glad he was willing to pause and let us oggle it from afar.
