Cinnamon Bay on St. John in the Virgin Islands is a majestic beach with many on-site services and amenities. Kayaks, surfboards, sailboats, boogie boards, and windsurf boards are available for those who want to rent them. My wife rented a windsurf board from the on-site outfitter in January of 2005. She took a lesson and didn’t learn much, considering that... more

The beaches here were the most gorgeous I've seen on the island. The wide stretches of sand made for great beach fun. the snorkeling was pretty good, but further out. more

Rented a small Hobie Cat sailboat at the watersport concession at Cinnamon Bay for my teenage boys. The guy (long, blonde hair) who sold us the rental took the time to show my kids how to sail the boat and right it after capsizing it on purpose. He took a good 20 minutes with them and though my kids have... more
