A Guide To St. John In The Virgin Islands
The U.S. Virgin Islands attract millions of tourists every year. They offer all of the beauty, luxury and exclusivity of the Caribbean, but with the security and safety that comes with being governed by the U.S. Of the three major U.S. Virgin Islands, St. John tends to get the least attention, but this is because it has withstood the temptation to overdevelop and commercialize itself, and not because it is a less desirable destination than St. Croix or St. Thomas, which are the other two major Islands that make up the U.S. Virgin Islands.
As well as secluded, scenic beaches, the St. John also offers the following…
- Awe-inspiring tropical forests
- World-class diving
- Exquisite dining
- Enjoyable nightlife
Of special note, and something which should not be missed under any circumstances, is the Virgin Islands National Park, which offers visitors a special opportunity to enjoy and appreciate the beautiful natural resources of the island. It includes hiking trails and a wonderful range of wildlife, some of which is unique to St. John. The beaches within the National Park, are some of the best to be found in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The main towns are Cruz Bay and Coral Bay, and staying in one of these two places allows easy access to restaurants and shops. There are lots of hotels, villas and resorts to choose from, which range from the quaint to the exceedingly lavish. Booking early is always advisable as finding somewhere to stay at the last minute is normally impossible.
Luxury resorts tend to be the preferred choice as you will be treated like royalty throughout your stay. Most lead right on to the beach, offer amazing views, have private pools, and provide full guest services. You literally would not need to leave your resort if you did not want to, and lots of people do not! For those looking for seclusion and tranquility, there are few places in the world that can match it.
Lots of visitors to St. John find themselves returning there year after year, as they have tried other destinations but have been unable to find one that gives them everything that St. John does. If you are still in doubt as to whether it is the right destination for you, just check out some pictures of it. After seeing how the beaches and National Park look, you will be left in no doubt that St. John really is the destination of your dreams.
