The Sandwich AtlasVol. 01

We packed the lunch.
You've got the map.

A sandwich has a job. Ours is to point you at the beach, the trail, the boat, or the villa dinner where it's supposed to end up.

Field notes from behind the counter · Cruz Bay, USVI

Editor's Note

Why a deli is writing a travel guide.

Fifteen years behind the counter and the same three questions come across every day: which beach today, where should we hike, and can you feed twelve people at the villa on Thursday? So we started writing it down.

The Chapters

Seven ways to spend a day on this island.

New chapters land seasonally. Bookmark or ask us in the shop.

01 · Beach RundownIn the case

Which beach deserves your sandwich today.

Trunk-friendly. Wind-friendly. Kid-friendly. We rank the north-shore beaches by how well they hold a picnic — and which sandwich survives the swim.

Maho Bay
Hawksnest
Salt Pond
Little Lameshur
Oppenheimer

02 · Trail NotesThis season

Hikes that end with a lidded lunch.

The Reef Bay descent, Ram Head at sunrise, Lind Point when you've got twenty minutes. Where to eat, when to turn back, and what not to leave in the sun.
