Nazareth Bay

✨ Hidden gem

Nazareth Bay sits on the east end of St. Thomas, tucked between Cowpet Bay and Red Hook, putting you within easy reach of the ferry terminal, restaurants, and provisioning at Red Hook. The water here is calm and well-protected, making it a solid spot to drop the hook with good holding on a sandy bottom. It's a popular anchorage, so expect company, but the surrounding hillside scenery and proximity to St. John—just a short ferry ride away—make it a worthwhile stop.
