Denis Bay is quiet and secluded, but you will need to be adventurous just to get there, arriving by sea or via a rugged trail though the forest.
Denis Bay is now part of the Virgin Islands National Park, but the structures and some of the land behind the beach have been leased to private interests. Please confine your visit to the area between the sea and the line of first vegetation.
Getting There (Denis Bay Trail) Look for the narrow path that begins near the bottom of the Peace Hill Trail. The path descends to a secluded section of beach on the western extreme of the bay. The little island just offshore is Perkins Cay.
Facilities:None
Snorkeling: The bay is well protected by extensive fringing reefs. From the sea, there is an open channel leading to the center of the beach where there used to be a dock.
When the seas are calm, there is decent snorkeling around the reef especially on its seaward side and around Perkins Cay.
Snorkeling about ten yards offshore of the east side of the remains of the old dock, you can see the coral encrusted fluke of a very large and very old anchor protruding from the sand.
