About Cinnamon Bay Beach

Cinnamon Bay is a beautiful white coral sand beach on the north side of St. John in the United States Virgin Islands. It is the longest beach on St. John, and is part of the Virgin Islands National Park.

Snorkeling

The best snorkeling seems to be in the area around Cinnamon Cay. We have seen Parrott Fish, Yellow Tail Snapper, Spiny Sea Urchins, Fairy Basslets, Blue Headed Wrasses, and much more.

Lodging

There is a campground on Cinnamon Bay. Rates range from $30/night for a bare campsite (bring your own tent) to $155/night for a beachfront cottage.

Food and Drinks

You can get a bite to eat at T'ree Lizards Restaurant, a Caribbean/American Bar & Grill.

Music

Cinnamon Bay is mentioned in Kenny Chesney's song, "Old Blue Chair", on his album "Be As You Are (Songs from an Old Blue Chair)." There are two versions of the song on the album - track 1 is a studio version, track 13 is the "Ocean Mix", which we like the best.
