Buck Island, St Croix - 32nm from south shore of St John. A few day boats come in, but will likely be only a couple overnight boats. Nice hiking trail to the top of the island with beautiful 360 views. Did not have an opportunity to snorkel in the lagoon, so I'm looking forward to a return visit.

Playa Flamenco, Culebra - Just returned from our first visit. An incredible crescent beach (must be at least a mile long). Walk to the west end of the beach to see the two stranded rusting tanks. Very good facilities with several food kiosks. Anchor in Ensenada Honda near the Dewey town dock. Lock your dinghy at the dock then hail one of the taxis that hang out by the ferry dock.

Would also suggest a visit to nearby island of Culebrita if no north swell. About a dozen mooring balls and good sand bottom for anchoring.

St John - On the north shore, Francis or Maho Bay (depending on wind direction). Great beach for just lounging. On the south shore, Salt Pond Bay (only 5 mooring balls) or Little Lameshure Bay. At nearby Reef Bay (1 public day mooring), arrive very early and take the short hike to the Petroglyphs then tour the old rum distillery ruins on the return.

A visit to Vieques is on my to-do list.
