The South Side of SJ actually does offer decent protection. Hurricane Hole is amazing, once you tuck into Lemeshur it is flat calm in prevailing, Rendevous can be exposed however. When you add the great bays on the North, SJ can entertain for at least 5 nights. Ironically ST has very few options north.
Hurricane Hole has great snorkeling around the mangroves and a quick dinghy ride to Skinny Legs!
I didn't realize the Lameshurs had mooring balls! I just checked the NPS "Mariner's Resource Protection Guide", which are provided at the floating pay stations. It shows Little Lameshur 5 overnight balls, Great Lameshur 16 (wow!), Salt Pond 6.
From either Little or Great Lameshur you can access the Lameshur Bay Trail that takes you to the Petroglyphs on the Reef Bay trail. We've done this hike and also from Centerline Road a few times, it's cool.
