The Turquoise waters , verdant hills, and white sandy beaches of Virgin Islands National Park lure nearly one million people a year to St. John. Some spend their entire holiday at this tranquil island while others are daytrippers who come here to get away from the bustle of St. Thomas. But it’s not only about peace and quiet – the small but busy towns of Cruz Bay and Coral Bay offer several good restaurants and shops. The island boasts two posh hotels and numerous condominiums, as well as two campgrounds, but many visitors opt for a more independent route and rent one of the 350 or so villas that dot the island. If you prefer a laid-back pace and don’t mind that the infrastructure doesn’t always work perfectly, this is the island for you.
