About St.
John
Escape from the stress of everyday life, come
to a tropical island and enjoy the simple pleasures of walking on sugar
white sandy beaches, exploring ancient ruins or filming Calypso dancers.
Thanks
to Laurence Rockefeller's vision, St. John is two-thirds National Park
lands. This protects the island from overdevelopment and keeps the population
at about 5,000 year round residents. The locals are an eclectic mix of
West Indians and American culture. St. Johnians pride themselves on protecting
its charm and free spirited nature. You won't find a traffic light or
any nationally franchised fast foods chains on the island. You will find
friendly, accommodating and accepting people here. Some have a deep family
history on the island and some are a history in making... St. John, Virgin
Islands quietly boasts over 30 different beaches and 14 National Park
hiking trails. The natural beauty is unsurpassed. But St. John is much
more...It is true Caribbean soul, funky, and fun. What better place to
have an educational vacation!
But island vacations are not all life in the slow lane...there are extremely
talented artists and musicians to see and hear. Several Art Galleries
are available and music happenings are nightly. St. John, US Virgin Islands
is also located in the midst of many cays and central to the British Virgin
Islands. Sailing, fishing, diving, snorkeling, hiking, kayaking, windsurfing,
surfing, are a few other things to do while you are here.
Cruz Bay, the town of St. John, USVI has many great restaurants from fine
dining to casual. Most of the restaurants are within walking distance
to one another. Many evenings there are local bands providing live music.
You can dance to calypso, reggae to your hearts content. Spend a memorable
evening dining, strolling and dancing under a star filled sky. Everything
is outdoors - no need for air conditioning in the islands, the trade winds
keep it cool.
