点评:This was our first time on the island of St. John, and one of the biggest items on our bucket list was swimming with sea turtles. After doing some quick research, we found that Maho Beach would give us the best opportunity — and it absolutely did not disappoint.
We were able to get face-to-face with several turtles and captured tons of pictures and videos. It was an incredible experience and something we’ll never forget.
Not only were the turtles amazing, but the beach itself was beautiful. Our first visit was early in the morning around 9 AM, and it was very peaceful and relaxing with very few people around. We spent the entire day just enjoying the beach and soaking it all in. Parking is limited though, so getting there early is definitely recommended.
A couple of days later we decided to go back for a second visit, but this time we arrived in the afternoon. The beach was much busier, and we had to park quite a distance away and walk in. Luckily it was just the two of us, but if you have kids or a lot of beach gear, the longer walk could be a challenge.
We’re already planning another trip back next year.

我们得以近距离接触好几只海龟,并拍下了无数的照片和视频。这是一次令人难忘的奇妙体验。
不仅海龟令人惊叹,海滩本身也美不胜收。我们第一次去的时候是清晨九点左右,那时人很少,非常宁静放松。我们一整天都沉浸在海滩的美好之中。不过停车位有限,所以强烈建议早点去。
几天后,我们决定再去一次,这次是下午去的。海滩上人多了很多,我们不得不把车停在离海滩较远的地方,然后步行过去。幸运的是,当时只有我们两个人,但如果你带着孩子或者很多沙滩用品,这段路程可能会比较吃力。
我们已经在计划明年再去一次了。
