Annual Beach To Beach Power Swim

The 21st Annual Beach-to-Beach 2024 Power Swim takes place on Sunday, May 26, 2024! Swim the distance that works for you from Maho to Cinnamon, or to Trunk, or the full 3.5 mile long course to Hawksnest!

Every Memorial Day weekend, swimmers take to the beautiful waters of Virgin Islands National Park on St. John to raise funds for kids swim programs, marine conservation, education outreach and more! One of the most beautiful swims in the world, the Beach-to-Beach Power Swim includes the beaches of Maho Bay, Cinnamon Bay, Hawknest Bay and Trunk Bay which is regularly on the world’s top 10 beaches lists. The swim is number 23 on the list of the World’s Top 100 Open Water Swims and number 7 on the World’s Top 100 Island Swims.
