Exploring St. John
-
Mid-Morning
While the air’s still cool, spend an hour or two poking around snug Cruz Bay ’s few sights and numerous shops. You can pick up a bathing suit at Bougainvillea (seeBougainvillea Boutique).
Take time to sit awhile on Cruz Bay Park ’s benches. The shady park with its flower-fringed walkways serves as the town’s crossroads (seeCruz Bay Park).
After shopping and people-watching take a break for lunch at the popular Lime Inn (seeLime Inn).
Afternoon
Gorgeous white sandy beaches fringe the coast. Pick the one that most appeals to you. If you’d like some quiet, Maho Bay Beach may be your best option. Just park along the road and stretch out on the beach for an hour or two in the sun or, more wisely, in the shade of the seagrape trees.
After a swim and a snorkel, make the brief drive along the North Shore Road to the Annaberg Plantation cut-off. A visit to the sugar plantation ruins will take about 20 minutes, unless you spend time absorbing the spectacular view of the sea and nearby Tortola or walking along the shore.
Late Afternoon
Continue along North Shore Road until you meet Centerline Road. Make a quick trip to Coral Bay for late afternoon drinks and a chance to mingle with the local folks at Skinny Legs Bar & Restaurant (seeSkinny Legs Bar & Restaurant) before heading back to Cruz Bay.
