Hawksnest Beach is the first National Park Beach that you will encounter driving along the North Shore Road from Cruz Bay. Covered pavilions with picnic tables and BBQ pits are popular gathering spots for parties and ceremonies. There are also many places to snorkel with abundant coral formations and rock outcrops to explore. Needless to say, it is one of the favorite beaches for locals. Little Hawksnest is a gathering spot for impromptu musical happenings and a great place to enjoy a picnic lunch.

A beautiful white sand beach, with great snorkeling too.

There are great facilities for parties and gatherings,
like these covered pavilions with picnic tables.

And there are changing rooms.

And flush bathroom facilities too.

Nice wide sidewalks under the shade...

With a few entrances onto the beach.
