I dug up more Wiki Vacation pictures from my 2009 to Caneel Bay, following the first in the series from the trip back to Taiwan. Caneel Bay is a resort on the northwest side of St. John, one of the US Virgin Islands, with seven private, picturesque beaches.

The accommodation at Turtle Bay is moderate, but the location cannot be more excellent.

Sunset can be enjoyed on any of the six west-facing beaches.

Snorkeling on premises is as easy as putting on your gear at your porch, and then walking out to the beach.

All of these pictures, except for a few personal ones, can be found on Wikimedia: Turtle Bay, Scott Beach, Hawksnest Bay and Caneel Bay. Unlike in the previous post, it was harder to find a home on Wikipedia for every picture in this series. Oh, well.
