Christian Cove

✨ Hidden gem

Christian Cove sits tucked against the campus of the University of the Virgin Islands, giving it a calm, almost secluded feel despite being just a short sail from Charlotte Amalie. Drop the hook here and you've got a well-protected spot with a large sandy beach right in front of you, great for a swim without much wave action to deal with. It's a go-to first or last night stop on a USVI trip, close enough to town that you're not scrambling, but quiet enough that it doesn't feel like it.
