Trunk Bay
St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands: Trunk Bay is an amazing place to go snorkeling. We saw a coral reef, sea turtles, squid, parrot fish, and so much more.....gorgeous, beautiful clear blue water, and pristine white-sand beach.
-------------------------------------------------------
Trunk Bay beach is named after the leatherback turtle because they used to nest there in large numbers. But wait –they are called leatherbacks but the bay was named Trunk Bay. Why? Leatherbacks when on the ocean surface look like a steamer trunk floating so the Danes and locals called them trunk turtles, so the story goes.
