Waterlemon Shoreline: A Hidden Snorkeling Gem on St. John

Often overshadowed by the popular Waterlemon Cay, the Waterlemon Shoreline is a hidden treasure that offers an exceptional snorkeling experience. Known by many captains as “3 Ball Reef,” this spot is teeming with vibrant coral formations, a wide variety of fish, and an array of other fascinating sea life.

Unlike the more frequented cay, the shoreline reef is quieter and less crowded, making it a perfect spot for those looking to explore underwater wonders at their own pace. Snorkelers can encounter colorful parrotfish, angelfish, and even the occasional stingray, all set against a backdrop of coral reef.

Its location along the Waterlemon shoreline provides calm waters and excellent visibility, making it ideal for beginners and experienced snorkelers alike. While many pass by this spot en route to Waterlemon Cay, those who stop to explore “3 Ball Reef” are rewarded with a rich and diverse marine ecosystem that rivals any on St. John.
