Lameshur Bay is a large cobblestone beach guaranteed to have less visitors than its sandy neighbor to the west, Little Lameshur Bay.

At the end of Route 107 heading south, continue 0.6 miles on the dirt road. You can park near the big tamarind tree at the opening to Lameshur beach.

Donkey Cove: A fifteen minute rock scramble along the eastern shore will take you to Donkey Cove, an isolated cobblestone and sand beach which provides privacy, picnicking, swimming and snorkeling. It’s truly an idyllic spot and worth the extra effort it takes to get there.

Snorkeling: Lameshur is the gateway to Beehive Cove and the Tektite Snorkel.

Bordeaux Mountain Trail: Rising nearly 1,300 feet above sea level, St. John's highest peak offers breathtaking views of St. Thomas, St. Croix and the British Virgin Islands in the distance, and a scenic trail for the hike downhill to Lameshur bay.

The trail head is at Little Lameshur Bay.

If you want to escape the crowds, head for Lameshur Bay Beach, along the rugged south coast, west of Salt Pond Bay and accessible only via a bumpy dirt road. The sands are beautiful and the snorkeling is excellent. You can also take a 5-minute stroll down the road past the beach to explore the nearby ruins of an old plantation estate that was destroyed in a slave revolt.
