Turtle Point Trail Details

This trail begins within the Caneel Bay Resort property, so access by land is officially limited to guests. However, the trail is part of the national park, and since all beaches in the U.S. Virgin Islands are open to the public you can reach the trail by water if you have a boat. However you access the Turtle Point Trail, it's a hike with beautiful views. The trail circles an unnamed bluff and affords hikers some magnificent vistas of Hawksnest Bay to the east and Turtle Bay to the west.
