ST. JOHN
|
||
Two-thirds a National Park (see map), St. John is the most virgin of the U.S. Virgin Islands, blessed with many beautiful beaches and bays, fine anchorages and verdant hills. And the resorts (see info and rates) and villas on St. John have generally been developed to reflect its heritage and designed in harmony with its natural environment (photo: VillaRentals). |
Cruz Bay. The main habitation and
port of entry for
St. John, Cruz Bay (see
map), of course, has customs as well as all the
modern services, including banks, grocery stores,
post office, jeep rentals, taxi-buses to beaches,
etc. The National Park Service Visitor's Center is
here. In Cruz Bay itself, the work of the St. John artistic community can be found in its shops, especially at Mongoose Junction, a shopping enclave of natural stone, shaded terraces, and lush greenery. Cruz Bay has many fine restaurants, including Morgan's Mango, a "neo-Caribbean experience."
Trunk, Cinnamon, Maho and Francis Bays. An underwater snorkel trail for beginners at Trunk Bay and a hike to an abandoned plantation house and old sugar mill at the Annaberg Ruins at Francis Bay are maintained by the National Park Service.
