Page reviewed 2026-08-03Start with the access pattern, not a universal ranking
Start with how you will reach the beach. Hawksnest, Trunk, Maho, Francis, and Jumbie sit in the North Shore Road pattern; Honeymoon, Leinster, and Salt Pond require a different walk, trail, or road plan. Check current National Park Service notices, water conditions, facilities, shade, taxi coverage, parking, accessibility, and the return trip before choosing the day.
