Jumbie Bay Beach Details

Jumbie Beach gets its fair share of wind and surf, making it a difficult spot to snorkel, but you can keep the mask in the beach bag for a few hours and just enjoy the water and sand. A small beach with very limited parking, Jumbie Bay Beach will never get crowded so it will always feel like yours. There's not much shade here as the beach is edged with sea grape, so bring your own shade or be prepared to retreat when you've had enough sun. You can try to snorkel, but the waves make it difficult for many novices: the best spot here is the rocky reef between Jumbie Bay and Trunk Bay.
