Saltpond Bay Details
A picturesque bay (which one in this park isn't?) on East End Road, Saltpond Bay has the perfectly clear waters you come to expect in the Virgin Islands. Less popular than other beaches and bays due to its distance from Cruz Bay, you usuallt will find Saltpond Bay sparsely populated, if populated at all. There is decent snorkeling here, which is best along the rocks at the bay's edge and at the outcropping of rocks in the center.
