My wife and I stayed at this beach for a few hours during a cruise. There was plenty of room to lay down on the sand--it was clean and easy to pick a spot to lay a towel down. The best part about this beach was the snorkeling--we found several sea turtles grazing underwater as well as thousands of conch... More

This is a nice beach to sun and lounge on. Snorkeling is not as good as in other locations, but the calm waters are best for relaxing day at the beach.

Swim out to the white buoys about 200 yd off beach. You will find turtles, sharks, fish, rays and some coral on the side rock but no reef here. Expect sandy floor and some green sea grass. Relaxing day

Let's just say, we saw sea turtles here for the first time and it made my trip! I was waiting a long time and they were hanging out at Maho the whole time. There is a lot more green grass in the water for them to feed on so there's a better chance to catch them. There were a lot... More

Maho Bay is just after Cinnamon and is a must see for snorkeling and for those who don't even have the equipment to go. Nurse sharks and stingray seemed to float right on up and were clearly visible without even getting our masks on. At the same time they bothered no one and were just two among other sea life... More
