St. John USVI

St. John is one of the US Virgin Islands. It does not have an airport. We get there by ferry via St. Thomas. It is 7 miles long and 3 miles wide. 2/3 of the island is a National Park. Also included in protected land is coral. There is a National Park office/dock at one of the beaches, Trunk, which charges an entrance fee ($3) and has a refreshment stand and a lifeguard. This beach gets busy when there is a cruise ship docked in St. Thomas. The other beaches are practically deserted. There are trail maps, beach maps, snorkel guide, etc. all available through the National Park Office. There are two major towns - Cruz Bay and Coral Bay. Beautiful beaches with snorkling, a relaxed atmosphere & friendly locals. That's why we keep going back.
