More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The catamaran slips free from Frenchman’s Reef as sunlight palms off the waves; salt air lifts and the harbor narrows into a strip of blue that dares you toward St. John. In six hours you cross channels, tie at Cruz Bay, stroll a compact town of weathered storefronts and turquoise storefronts, then boat to Honeymoon Beach where coral gardens and a short swim deliver the reef’s riot of color.
