National Park
St. John travel guide
Two-thirds protected as Virgin Islands National Park. The quietest, most walkable, and arguably most beautiful of the three islands. There's no airport. You ferry over from St. Thomas.
What's on this island
- Virgin Islands National Park covers about 60% of the island
- Cruz Bay, the main town and ferry landing
- Trunk Bay, Maho, Cinnamon, and the legendary north-shore beaches
- Reef Bay Trail and the petroglyph hike
- Coral Bay on the quieter east end
- Ferry connection to St. Thomas (Red Hook and Charlotte Amalie)
Who it's for
Travelers who came for the beaches, snorkeling, and hiking. Honeymooners. Park nerds. Anyone who wants St. Thomas's water without St. Thomas's pace.
