Just wrapped-up 9 days in Coral Bay with my two young adult kids. Great time! Stayed at Blue Bay View near the top of 108. Great place, great value, awesome airplane views.
Hit the north shore beach favs early since cruisers were scheduled to flock starting Tues. Glad we did cause a nasty swell hit Tues and they wound up closing the whole north shore for the rest of the week.
Discovered Hansen on Wed and hit it the last three days of our stay. Great little set-up and Thalia n Dunia are pretty cool hosts. $2.50 a head, but so what. Good snorkeling and no swell.
Vie's beach is chained-up...no access except by water. Too bad.
Skinny's for burgers and $6 Painkillers (best deal in CB); Indigo for dinner twice - yum; Breakfast at both Pickles and TripleB, excellent; Dinner twice at Oasis (underwhelmed); De Coal Pot for West Indian (yum) and Hercules for pate & johnny cakes - ferry food.
Hansen is just past Vie's. Watch for the sign, but its hard to miss.
The beach is rocky on the left, but sandier on the right. Fairly shallow up close. No appreciable wave action. Check for urchins before you send the kids out.
Its the most accessible beach I've seen on STJ. Not even a road to cross.

Right on - thanks for the info. Think I'll try and hit it on Sunday for the cookout and for Angel Rest, which the google machine told me comes around then.
