Coral Bay, East End & South Shore
Coral Bay, St John's second town, is really just a handful of shops, restaurants and pubs
clustered around the 1733 hilltop Emmaus Moravian Church. Two hundred years ago, it
was the largest settlement on the island. Known then as 'Crawl Bay', presumably because
there were pens or 'crawls' for sea turtles here, the settlement owes its early good fortune to
being the largest and best-protected harbor in the Virgin Islands. Today it serves as the gate-
way to the island's most remote beaches and coastal wilderness, ripe for hiking, snorkeling
and eco-camping.
