Peter Bay
Saint John, United States Virgin Islands

About
Peter Bay is one of St. John's most prestigious and exclusive beach destinations, nestled along the island's breathtaking North Shore. This private enclave offers a glimpse into Caribbean luxury living while being surrounded by the pristine natural beauty of the Virgin Islands National Park.
Exclusive Setting
Unlike many of St. John's public beaches, Peter Bay is largely a private community featuring luxury villas and estates. The bay itself offers a secluded beach with powdery white sand and crystalline turquoise waters. The exclusivity of the area means visitors can often enjoy a peaceful experience away from the crowds that frequent more popular beaches like Trunk Bay and Cinnamon Bay.
Natural Splendor
Peter Bay is framed by lush tropical hillsides that cascade down to the shoreline. The protected waters showcase every shade of blue imaginable, from deep cobalt to brilliant aquamarine. The bay's reef system, though not as extensive as some other St. John locations, provides excellent snorkeling opportunities with healthy coral formations and a variety of tropical fish.
Location and Access
Situated between Trunk Bay and Cinnamon Bay on St. John's North Shore, Peter Bay enjoys a prime location within the Virgin Islands National Park. While much of the beachfront is private, there is limited public access to the shoreline, as all beaches in the U.S. Virgin Islands are legally public up to the high tide line.
Visitors staying at Peter Bay villas enjoy private paths to the beach, while others can access the shoreline via water or by following public access routes. The area's exclusivity is reflected in its peace and pristine condition.
Luxury Living
The hillsides surrounding Peter Bay feature some of St. John's most impressive and expensive homes. These luxury villas often offer panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea and neighboring islands, private pools, and direct beach access. The exclusivity of Peter Bay has made it a favorite among celebrities and high-net-worth individuals seeking privacy during their Caribbean getaways.
Perfect Vantage Point
Beyond its own beauty, Peter Bay provides spectacular views of nearby Cinnamon Bay, Mary Point, and on clear days, the British Virgin Islands in the distance. Sunset views from this location are particularly breathtaking as the sky transforms into vibrant oranges and purples over the Caribbean waters.
Peter Bay represents the perfect balance of natural beauty and exclusive luxury that characterizes the best of St. John's north shore experience.
