Hi,
My wife and I are staying 2 nights at caneel bay and I dont know if I should rent a car for our second day there so we can explore the island a little or if we should just take in the beaches close by. Any advice?

Are you staying on St. John before or after your 2 nights? Is this an add on to time in the BVI? If yes to either of those I'd stick with staying at Caneel for R&R.

Thank you

With that said, yes stay at Caneel. You might take the short walk to Honeymoon Beach or even take a cab into town for Happy Hour and dinner one night. I would not bother with renting a car though. Plenty of good beaches with snorkeling right there at Caneel. Definitely hit up ZoZo's at Caneel for dinner. Enjoy your stay, Caneel is a great place.

We stayed at Caneel Bay for our honeymoon and loved it! Check out Turtle Cove or Bay in the resort. We saw tons of turtles there.

There are some nice beaches right at Caneel.
You could always get a short Taxi ride to Trunk Bay or Cinnamon.

Caneel Bay resort has seven beautiful beaches within their own property. Each beach has something different to offer. Scott Beach is best for turtle sightings, Caneel Beach for angelfish, Turtle Beach for parrotfish, etc. I'd spend one day just relaxing and enjoying the beauty found there. Then the next day, I would definitely hire an open air taxi for an island tour. That will enable you to see all the other gorgeous beaches like world-reknown Trunk Bay. I would not rent a car as you really don't have a whole lot of time to explore the island and the roads can be very tricky if you are unfamiliar with the hair-pin curves and steep hills. Taxis are relatively inexpensive and you can always get one to go into Cruz Bay if you choose to eat dinner in town.
