Fantastic. Probably the most beautiful beach we have ever been to. The snorkeling was great. Bring a good car because the drive is a bit far and hilly. Watch out for goats and donkeys all over island…Full review by FarAway38397629914

Q:
I am contemplating a family vacation to the US Virgin Islands a big priority is close if not beachfront access to calm white sandy swimming. I’m struggling to find information about if that is something readily available in the Virgin Islands. We have a disabled daughter and want her to be able to enjoy the beach. Does anyone know if any of the islands are conducive to that
A:
St.john has a couple of beaches that are disabled access, but the walking terrain of the island due to the hilly nature of the place would not make St.John my 1st choice
