Cinnamon Bay lies within Virgin Islands National Park on St John in the US Virgin Islands. Its long beach and coastal scenery make it a popular stop for beach time and snorkeling when conditions permit.
A private boat charter to Cinnamon Bay allows you to reach this location directly, arrive by water, and enjoy time on the water in a more controlled and comfortable setting.
Cinnamon Bay is valued for its simplicity and natural layout. The shoreline is open and less structured, creating a setting focused on the water, beach, and surrounding landscape.
Conditions in the bay are typically calm, with visibility that varies with weather and sea conditions and easy entry from the boat. This makes it a reliable stop for guests looking to swim, relax, and spend time in a quieter part of St John
Cinnamon Bay is best experienced as a slower-paced stop during your charter. Guests typically spend their time:
Swimming in clear, calm water directly off the boat
Walking along a quiet, open shoreline
Relaxing on the beach or onboard
Snorkeling along the edges of the bay
Enjoying unobstructed views of the surrounding islands
The setting is well-suited for groups looking to balance more active destinations with time to unwind.

Cinnamon Bay can be reached by road or boat, and a private charter gives you full flexibility over your visit. Departing from St Thomas or St John, your captain can incorporate Cinnamon Bay into a St John itinerary based on conditions and timing.
A private charter allows you to choose how long to stay, arrive when the bay is at its best, and combine the stop with other locations throughout the US Virgin Islands.
Cinnamon Bay is often included as part of a full-day route. Many guests combine this stop with:
A St John full day or half day itinerary
Maho Bay on St John
Honeymoon Bay and other St John beaches
Snorkeling locations along the route
Additional St John bays depending on timing
Your captain will structure the day to include Cinnamon Bay while optimizing travel and overall flow
Cinnamon Bay offers a quieter, more natural stop within the US Virgin Islands and is best experienced by private boat.
