Questions
Common questions
Where do you park at Caneel Bay Beach?
The nearest mapped parking area is 425 yd from the listed location. Positions come from OpenStreetMap, not from review text.
How far is the walk to the water at Caneel Bay Beach?
40 ft in a straight line from the listing to the mapped shoreline, under a minute. Soft sand and dune make the real walk longer than the straight line.
Does Caneel Bay Beach have restrooms?

Measured from OpenStreetMap, public aerial imagery and live conditions data, and counted from visitor reviews. Every source, in full.
