Nature rules at this southeast side spot where the Caribbean Sea barely ripples into this often-uninhabited crescent- shaped beach. It’s the 8-plus mile drive from Cruz Bay, nearly half-mile hike from the parking lot, and lack of facilities except for picnic tables and
pit toilets that keep the crowds at bay. The rewards are an off-the-beaten-track beach day, complete with the chance to see the salt pond behind the beach, explore the wildly windswept rocky Drunk Bay, or get a Titanic view of St. John’s south shore from the trail that leads to Ram Head peak.
