Scott Bay beach
Caneel Bay Resort guests can soak up the warm Caribbean sun on this tiny stretch of “private” white sand beach. This beach gets terrific early day sun and some shade later in the afternoon.
Easy access with shallow sandy shoreline. Directly out from the center of the beach is sea grass – a great spot to see turtles and rays.
Snorkeling to the right of the beach brings you to Turtle Bay beach. Rocky outcroppings of coral and fish provide an exciting snorkel experience. Keep an eye out for turtles and rays that frequent the area.
Depending on weather conditions – beware of the current if you swim/snorkel around the point from Scott Bay beach to Turtle Bay beach.
