Accessibility Information
This trail is not considered accessible as it is a narrow rocky trail.
Sit a spell and enjoy the view of the harbor. This is a great hike for those just looking to stretch their legs or are only on St. John for a short time. For those who have more time, are looking for more exercise and maybe a snorkel, follow the trails to Honeymoon Bay and Salomon Bay.
Salomon Beach is the first you come to if taking the lower Lind Point Trail. The tree lined beach offers the option of shady or sunny areas to sit a spell. There is great snorkeling anywhere in the bay but you will usually find more fish along the rocky edges of either side of the beach. You can swim or hike to Honeymoon Beach from here.
Enjoy the sun or shade on this long tree lined the beach. Honeymoon can be reached by the lower or upper Lind Point Trail. Just be sure to follow the signs. This beach is one of the few with a concession offering drinks, snacks, rental chairs, ecotours and more.
All the Lind Point trails and both beaches can also be accessed from the trail starting on North Shore Road. Be sure to park in one of the first two gravel parking lots. From there follow the trail, which starts between the large park sign and the woods.
