I LOVE St. John!!! There is a ruin of a sugar mill there where they have signage of how sugar cane used to be harvested there. Take a tour of the island, and you will see gorgeous views from almost every vantage point. If you go to the East end, you can see another country - the British Virgin Islands! It is easy to see many other of the Virgin Islands, St Thomas, Tortola, Jost Van Dyke, it just depends where on the island you are standing.

Most of the island is a national park, and there are all sorts of hikes you can take. You can stay in luxury accomodations, like Caneel Bay, or in camper tents at Maho Bay. Ecotourism is taken seriously here.

If you are just there for the day, go underwater! Snorkel with parrotfish, barracuda and turtles.

TAKE ME BACK THERE!!!!!!
