    This is a hippie paradise within paradise! We hiked to Honeymoon Beach, where we met a friendly woman who recommended we head out for soMe free music at the crossroads. To our complete delight, the free concert was Keller Williams, an artist we have seen locally in Buffalo, NY & at Knox Farm in East Aurora, NY at the Borderland Festival we have worked as volunteers. Adorable bar serves local drinks and cocktails, lots of varied comfortable seating in comfy clusters, a food truck that serves 3-4 main items. Open air souvenir shop. Small stage makes for intimate concerts. Pack your sunscreen & bug spray. If you'll be there after dark, pack a high quality light, or you won't see or be seen. The area is directly across from Maho Bay Beach, which is gorgeous, but better in the morning and early day, as it's filled with "no see um" type little biting bugs! It's also unfortunate to see the powers that be engineered a foul smelling restroom and planted it directly on the edge of this beach, making the entire area smell like human excrement.

    Maho Crossroads offers some great drinks and a food truck located on the side. The drink menu includes a variety of staple cocktails, including the Painkiller, and canned beer and refreshments. The food truck not only serves staple items like hamburgers they offer specials of the day, which included a pulled pork sandwich on one of our visits. We visited twice while on the island and were able to enjoy corn hole, live music and the beach across the street where snorkeling allows you to find some amazing sea turtles and fish! Highly recommend this stop for a day of fun and relaxation!

    We want here for the Keller Williams music festival in February 2020. It was amazing! Keller Williams played on a small stage where we were inches from him. He was amazing, the drinks were the best we had in the Virgin Islands and at pretty reasonable price at about $9. The people were super cool and chill, the views are beautiful, the furniture is awesome. We literally felt like we were dropped in an alternate reality! The no seem 'em bugs were absolutely horrible! I got so many bug bites that have lasted awhile and were super itchy. This place was amazing for the concert, but not sure what it would be like on a normal day. Definitely good cocktails! Definitely amazing for the Keller Williams show!

    Maho Crossroads is a great family & environmentally friendly spot right on the beach. Snorkel gear and paddles boards are available for rent. They often have live music or events supporting the community as well. Great place to play corn hole, relax in a variety of beach chairs or have a drink.

    Review Highlights - Maho Crossroads

    Maho Beach is one of the best places to see sea turtles, and we managed to see one, despite the cloudier-than-usual water, due to wave action.

The internet says it's one of the most famous ones and I can see why - the water is crystal clear, bright blue (as are most of the other national park beaches lol). It's spacious though, and in addition to the beach itself, there is a snack vendor area where you can buy lunch (like sandwiches and drinks), and a gear rental place for snorkeling etc. They also have a small restaurant adjacent to the campground cafeteria area which does breakfast and dinner (but not lunch). They have pretty clean bathrooms and showers too, and the most parking of all the beaches that I went to. They even had an info booth; the lady there was fairly knowledgeable about the park although I don't think she was an actual ranger (she wasn't in the ranger outfit). There's also a little area right at the entrance to the beach that is part of some ruins, it's a nice photo op spot. Overall this is a great beach! Def recommend.

    During our honeymoon we figured it would be fitting to visit honeymoon beach! Since we visited…read moreduring off season it was basically empty, so we nearly had a whole beach to ourselves! Beautiful clear waters and we were visited by a stingray and sea turtle. We did have to take about a mile hike to the beach, but we saw a taxi drop by at some point so I guess there is an option to be driven there. The hike was no bad and fairly flat the entire time, with some rocks. I managed in flip flops. It looked like there were concessions that may be open during a busier time, but were closed when we visited.

    Free entry and parking, but $10 round trip PER PERSON for a shuttle to the beach (which is far from…read morethe entrance). Hike it or pay. This beach was not that great compared to the beautiful secluded beaches that St. John has to offer. Pretty disappointing honestly. It was SO CROWDED on a Sunday. So many people, floaties, and kayaks polluted the water. Lots of debris in the sand and in the water too. A lot of their trees have swarms of bees too! When we came around 2:00 PM, there were strong waves that would constantly slap us in the face with salt water. The water was not peaceful at all. There is also a lot of people in line at the Bikinis On The Beach Bar. It was not worth it and the food is so overpriced. They also have a gift shop where you can rent beach chairs, floaties, and kayaks... but honestly, they just leave them all over the beach anyways. Just use them for free. If you are looking for a beach to party at with a big group with lots of rentals and you don't mind the $10 shuttle fee... This might be the place for you.

The parking lot is smaller compared to other beaches, and there wasn't much area available on the side of the road either - that was part of why we decided to not bother with swimming. That said, I walked onto the beach and it is as blue and stunning as the other main beaches, just gorgeous! Pretty spacious too, and I could see not too far out from shore a darker area which would be consistent with the "excellent snorkeling" I read is available at this beach per the internet. Random note, there were also quite a few chickens on this beach lol. I saw online sometimes random wild donkeys also walk by? The internet says don't pet them. I didn't see any lol.
