St. Johns House

There are nice beaches along the north shore road such as Friars Bay, Cinnamon Bay, Trunk Bay, Caneel Bay, etc. Many are often deserted and you can just park your car on the side of the road. At Trunk Bay, you can rent snorkel gear and there’s an underwater snorkel tour which is quite cool (self guided).

Vi’s Beach and food stand (shack) is near our house, 5 minutes away and is quite a nice little beach. She charges $ 3 per person for beach access and she makes outstanding garlic chicken in her little food stand. Real friendly local lady.

The local people are very friendly you’ll find and a pleasant good morning before ordering breakfast is a good idea or they’ll look at you funny. There is very little violent crime on St. John. However St. Thomas has its share of crime so if you go over there for dinner, avoid the dark alleys or out of the way streets downtown at night. The excellent restaurant Herve on St. Thomas is on the hill behind downtown and they have parking right there.

Shopping in St. Thomas is excellent as it’s duty free and a great place to buy fine Swiss watches, electronics, clothes at Tommy Hilfiger and other designers, etc. the town is known as Charlotte Amalie on St. Thomas.

St. John has a number of shops in Cruz Bay and a few art and funky local shops scattered around the island.

Take a snorkel trip half day boat to the coral reefs. Easy even for beginners. Some include lunch and free drinks. Snorkel gear provided. Try Captain Dan who has snorkel trips and sunset yacht cruise rides at (340) 776-4037 or email him at dristuc@aol.com

Go SNUBA Diving
Scuba Diving or Snuba (if you’re not certified) - (340) 693-8063. Virgin Islands SNUBA Excursions meets you at Trunk bay. After a 20 minute tutorial, you go down the end of the beach and he has long hoses from the tanks that float on the water so you can go 20-25 feet deep. Very cool and a super time.

A really cool thing is to take a rented power boat or sailboat over to Jost Van Dyke for the Soggy Dollar Bar which is quite a party bar. Or the famous Foxy’s bar(s) (there are now 2 of them on the island). You can even rent a small power boat and do it yourself but don’t attempt this if you’ve never driven (piloted?) a boat before (or plan on partying heavily at Soggy Dollar Bar). Technically a passport is needed but I’m sure no one checks any id’s or anything else at Soggy Dollar or foxy’s. If you take the scheduled ferry over, a passport is definitely required but pretty simple to clear bvi customs (as they know people are coming over to party). It’s only a 20 minute boat ride.

Kayak 3 hour trip: call (340) 693-8312

Coral Bay Whales It’s not unusual to see whales swimming around Coral Bay, visible from both Our houses !

Activities

  • Scuba Diving or Snuba (if you’re not certified) - (340) 693-8063 highly recommended . He meets you at Trunk bay. After a 20 minute tutorial, you go down the end of the beach and he has long hoses from the tanks that float on the water so you can go 20-25 feet deep. Very cool and a super time.
  • Para-sailing (safer than it sounds) - (340) 775-9360 - they’ll come and pick you up in their cool 22 ft. boat and you’ll soar 600 feet above the ocean in the waters between st. john and st. thomas. Highly Recommended
