The still-pristine island of St. John is the smallest of the three
U.S. Virgin Islands and lies just 3 miles east of St. Thomas and a
mile from the nearest of the British Virgin Islands. Nearly two-thirds
of the island is national park, with forests and nature trails for
your enjoyment. Nature lovers will be amazed by St. John's ecological
diversity, from cactus-laden desert bluffs to lush tropical forests
singing with tree frogs and painted by orchids.

The true treasure of St. John is its beaches, white with soft, sugary
sand and edged by coconut palms, gentle waters, and pristine coral
reefs. World-famous Trunk Bay is here, as are spectacular Hawksnest
Bay and Cinnamon Bay. Part of the national park land is underwater and
home to amazing coral reefs, plant life, tropical fish and turtles.

Beyond the spectacular natural beauty, St. John is a colorful and
artistic community filled with unique shops, boutiques and vendors.
The shelves are filled with local artwork and distinctive jewelry as
well as exotic imports. All of the restaurants are locally owned, each
serving up tantalizing flavors and atmosphere for even the most
discerning palate. Local seafood such as mahi mahi, Caribbean lobster,
conch, wahoo, yellowtail snapper and tuna are always fresh and available.

Getting out on the water is a must for every Virgin Island vacation.
Sailing, fishing, scuba diving and powerboat charters are widely
available, as well as sea kayak and dinghy rentals. Our favorite is
sailing. The fresh tradewinds, calm seas and protected anchorages make
the Virgin Islands one of the top sailing destinations in the world.
Hundreds of nearby islands await your exploration, all just a short
boat ride away. Some of the best snorkeling and diving spots are only
accessible by boat.

Many visitors will be captivated by the fascinating history of St.
John and the Caribbean. From the Taino, Arawak and Carib Indians, to
the days of piracy, to the Danish sugar plantations, St. John has
amazing stories of slavery and freedom, rebellion and discovery. Many
remnants of those days have been preserved here. Upon your exploration
you will find Danish sugar mill ruins, archeological digs, and
petroglyphs from the ancient tribes that first inhabited St. John.

There is so much to do and see on this tiny 27-square-mile mountainous
island that many visitors find themselves coming back year after year.
