Discover more about Lind Point Trail
The Lind Point Trail is a popular hiking destination in St. John, offering a blend of natural beauty and historical significance. The trail begins just behind the Virgin Islands National Park Visitor Center in Cruz Bay, making it easily accessible for day-trippers and cruise passengers.
The trail offers two main routes: the upper and lower Lind Point Trails. The lower trail is slightly shorter and less hilly, while the upper trail offers more sweeping views, including the Lind Point Battery Overlook. Both trails lead to the secluded Salomon and Honeymoon beaches, known for their tranquil waters and pristine sands.
As you hike, you'll pass through diverse environments, from cactus scrub to dry forests. The Lind Point Battery Overlook provides panoramic views of Cruz Bay, Pillsbury Sound, and surrounding islands. The trail also offers glimpses into the island's past, as it traverses land once used for cotton cultivation.
Honeymoon Beach, accessible via the Lind Point Trail, offers a concession with drinks, snacks, and chair rentals. Salomon Beach, a bit more secluded, provides a quieter escape.
