Maho Bay Details

The recent purchase of 74 acres at Maho Bay put one more piece of the island under the park's control. This beach is amenity-free, but that's no problem as the chance of spotting a sea turtle here is high, offering plenty of entertainment value. Because of the turtles and the gentle surf, Maho Bay is a popular family beach. The snorkeling is good, too, and there's shade once you get under the trees lining the shore.
