Waterlemon Cay Boat Drop (Leinster Bay)

Waterlemon Cay is the small offshore cay at the east end of Leinster Bay, known for clear-water snorkeling, sea-grass habitat, and a classic St. John north-shore setting. A charter can use the Leinster Bay area as a boat access point, while land visitors can reach the bay from the Leinster Bay Trail near Annaberg. The cay is best for confident swimmers and prepared snorkelers because rocks, entry conditions, and current can make the outer side more demanding.

Where it fits

The setting and how to plan for it

Waterlemon Cay is one of the more rewarding St. John combinations because the experience has two layers: a scenic north-shore walk or boat approach, followed by snorkeling around a small cay with reef and sea-grass habitat. Charter guests can make it a water stop; land visitors can pair the Leinster Bay Trail with Annaberg. The route is more exposed than a protected beach swim, so it suits travelers who are comfortable with uneven entries and changing water conditions.

Before you go

For a charter stop, use an operator familiar with the bay and current conditions. For a land visit, allow time for the trail from the Annaberg area, bring water and reef-safe sun protection, and avoid entering rough or unclear water. Check current park access and restrictions before setting out.
