About this location
Cinnamon Bay stretches nearly a quarter mile along St. John's north shore, making it the largest beach in the Virgin Islands National Park. The bay's wide sandy expanse, calm water, and dramatic backdrop of forested hills create exceptional conditions for both aerial and ground-level photography. The historic Cinnamon Bay sugar mill ruins add cultural context to the natural setting, while the offshore reef supports rich marine life for underwater work. The beach's scale and variety make it one of the most versatile shooting locations on St. John.
