Photograph by David Coleman. Leinster Bay, located on the north shore of St. John in the US Virgin Islands, offers a picturesque vista that encapsulates the beauty and geographical diversity of the Virgin Islands archipelago. This bay is part of the Virgin Islands National Park, which covers approximately 60% of St. John, preserving its natural splendor and historical significance. The view from Leinster Bay provides a unique perspective of both US and British territories in the Caribbean. Mary Point, visible to the left, is a promontory on St. John known for its historical Annaberg Sugar Plantation ruins, offering insights into the island's colonial past. Great Thatch Island, an uninhabited island between St. John and Tortola, serves as a natural border between US and British territories. Jost Van Dyke, visible in the distance, is the smallest of the four main British Virgin Islands, famous for its pristine beaches and laid-back atmosphere. Leinster Bay itself is renowned for its clear waters and abundant marine life, making it a popular spot for snorkeling and kayaking. The bay's calm waters are home to sea turtles, various tropical fish, and occasional manatee sightings. The surrounding area features hiking trails that lead to historical sites and offer panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea. This scenic vista not only showcases the natural beauty of the region but also illustrates the close proximity and interconnectedness of the Virgin Islands, spanning both US and British territories in this part of the Caribbean.
