Things To Do
Cruz Bay
The lively heart of St. John, Cruz Bay is where the ferry drops you off—and the fun begins! This charming harbor town is full of colorful shops, beach bars, and delicious restaurants. Whether you're grabbing a drink with a view, picking up souvenirs, or just strolling along the waterfront, Cruz Bay is the perfect place to kick off your island adventure.
Cruz Bay Watersports
For those looking to get out on the water, Cruz Bay Watersports offers a variety of fun excursions—from sailing and snorkeling trips to sunset cruises and island-hopping adventures. It’s a great way to explore the beauty of the Virgin Islands by sea, whether you're up for a full-day tour or just a few relaxing hours on the water.
St. John Beach Bum
St. John is a snorkeler’s paradise! With its crystal-clear waters, vibrant coral reefs, and diverse marine life, it’s no surprise that snorkeling is one of the most popular activities on the island. Whether you're a first-time snorkeler or an experienced explorer, you'll have the chance to swim alongside colorful fish, graceful sea turtles, and maybe even spot a stingray or two. Renting gear is easy and gives you the freedom to discover some of the island’s best underwater spots at your own pace. We highly recommend taking the time to experience the beauty beneath the surface—you won’t regret it!
Trunk Bay
One of the most iconic beaches in the Caribbean, Trunk Bay is known for its powdery white sand, turquoise waters, and lush surroundings. It’s home to an underwater snorkeling trail—perfect for spotting tropical fish and coral reefs right off the shore. Whether you're swimming, snorkeling, or just relaxing under the palms, Trunk Bay is a must-see slice of paradise.
Maho Bay
Calm, shallow waters make Maho Bay perfect for a relaxing beach day—and an ideal spot for snorkeling with sea turtles! Surrounded by coconut palms and gentle waves, it’s a great place to float, paddleboard, or just soak in the peaceful vibes. Keep your eyes peeled—you might spot a ray or two gliding by.
Cinnamon Bay
Cinnamon Bay offers a wide stretch of soft sand and stunning views—perfect for beach lovers and adventure seekers alike. It's great for swimming, snorkeling, and even a bit of hiking with trails nearby. With more space than some of the other beaches, it's a wonderful spot to spread out, relax, and enjoy the natural beauty of St. John.
Coral Bay
Quieter and more off-the-beaten-path than Cruz Bay, Coral Bay is St. John’s sleepy, charming east side. It’s known for its local flavor, stunning views, and a slower pace of life. Think quirky beach bars, hidden gems, and scenic drives. It’s the perfect spot for a peaceful afternoon or a scenic detour on your island adventure.
Ram Head Trail
For breathtaking views and a bit of island adventure, hike the Ram Head Trail on St. John’s southeast tip. This scenic coastal trail winds through cactus-lined paths and dramatic cliffs, ending at a panoramic overlook where the ocean stretches as far as the eye can see. Go early or near sunset for cooler temps and unforgettable light.
Reef Bay Trail
This lush trail takes you through the heart of St. John’s tropical forest, past ancient petroglyphs carved by the island’s early inhabitants, and down to the ruins of a historic sugar mill by the sea. Along the way, you might spot waterfalls, wildlife, and plenty of island flora. It’s a longer hike (about 3 miles one way), but the blend of history, nature, and beauty makes it well worth the trek.
Cinnamon Bay Trail
Starting just across from the beach, this uphill trail leads you through a shaded forest filled with tropical plants and the ruins of an old Danish plantation. It’s a moderately challenging hike, but the peaceful atmosphere and views along the way make it a great option for those wanting a little adventure before cooling off in the ocean below.
Lind Point Trail
Conveniently starting near Cruz Bay, Lind Point Trail offers an easy-to-moderate hike with rewarding views of the harbor and nearby islands. Along the way, you’ll pass through shaded forest and eventually reach beautiful Honeymoon and Solomon beaches—perfect for a post-hike swim. It’s a great intro to St. John’s trails and a fun way to explore right from town.
