Hawksnest Bay Beach Details
Great for swimming, snorkeling, or sunning yourself on the sand, Hawksnest Bay is to the east of Caneel Bay; the two are separated by the peninsula where the Caneel Bay Resort sits. Hawksnest Bay's orientation means it can get larger waves, but nothing intimidating -- just fun surf perfect for splashing around in. The beach here is a little narrow, but there are toilets, changing rooms, grills, and picnic tables. The parking area isn't too small, but arrive early to be sure you get a parking spot.
