Beaches US Virgin Islands

My husband and I stayed here in US Virgin Island for 7 days and stayed in a nice hotel and had fun on the 1st day while we were walking on the stairs we saw about ten Iguana, it looks scary to me as they have spikes but they are endangered animal. Looking at them it reminds me of Travel Channel called Bizarre Foods by Andrew Zimmern. Iguana is a genus of lizard native to tropical areas of Central and South America and the Caribbean.
In US Virgin Islands, they drive on the left side of the road, unlike us here in the US or other parts of the world we drive on the right side. Its alot of people come and goes in here especially its a touristy Island and people come here from a cruise ships, its alot of shops in here like souvenir shops and jewelry shops, I didn't see any place which almost the stores are Jewerly, makes you say wow!:)

We went to Magensbay and had a nice, relaxing time. The sand is smooth and the water shallow, warm and blue. There is a nice bar with good music and a snack shop here along with public showers, restrooms and changing rooms. The beach is clean, secure, well kept and was almost empty on a Monday at about 2pm.
On 2nd day, my husband doing something, so my two friends and I, are went to Trunk Bay at St. John, its one of the famous as its very pretty, we did snorkel, the funny thing is that I learned on how to snorkel here, I tried my best as I am thinking my husband is not there to save me:), I am glad I learned to do snorkel now. At Trunk Bay they have a snack bar and also they have a store which you can rent snorkel gear and the price is just right.
On 3rd day, my husband went to Coki-Beach, oh yeah its really nice to do snorkel in here alot of variety of fish in here, I have seen fishes here alot, we did fed the fish and its really funny that the fishes comes towards me hundreds of them and makes me happy, its really unbelievable they come to me, while I was feeding them, one yellow tail fish bite my index finger haha! maybe that fish thought it was a biscuit as I was feeding them that kind of food. Another funny thing is that when my husband trying to grab them they swim fast and they might think he is a big predator but then afterwards they still keep coming towards him hehe!
We did snorkel about 3-4 hrs. in Coki Beach, it was really alot of fun, how I wish I had a picture underwater with the fish so that I can show you guys how nice that I am sorrounded by bunches of fishes, its really amazing, when you guys like to go there, do snorkel in Coki beach you wont regret.
