Hidden Paradise

Just beyond Hawksnest Beach and the little white picket fence is the gate and entrance to Oppenheimer Beach. Robert Oppenheimer owned this little slice of heaven and eventually gave it to the children of the Virgin Islands. It is now a community recreation center, with many a village gathering for celebrations throughout the year. The coral beds here are abundant with elkhorn coral and a variety of other corals. Hawksbill turtles are a common sight in the turtle grass. Everyone enjoys taking their turn on the tire swing and plunging into the clear, inviting waters of this treasured location.
