Beaches
White sand and turquoise water on Water Island, backed by palms with other islands in view offshore. The ferry runs from Crown Bay Marina on St. Thomas to Phillips Landing, and it is a walk or golf-cart ride to the beach. Dinghy's Beach Bar rents paddleboarding, kayaking and snorkeling gear on the sand.

Beaches
On the southeast side of Water Island, fronting Supermarket Reef, where the coral grows in spurs running toward the island. Snorkelers and divers find goatfish, hawksbill turtles, moray eels and creole wrasse here, and the shore is rocky enough that the tourism board advises water shoes.

Beaches
In Limestone Bay on the southeast side of Water Island, the coral grows in spurs running toward the island, forming the aisle-like lanes the reef is named for. Snorkelers work the lanes for pink goatfish, hawksbill sea turtles, moray eels and creole wrasse.
