Our Cruz Bay favorites, the things to do St. John first timers ask us about most, in the order you would hit them walking off the ferry in St John USVI. Start on the little beach by the dock, where the palms lean over the water and boats sit a few feet off the sand. Wharfside Watersports is right there if you want a dinghy for a St John boat day. High Tide is the spot for a drink next to the ocean, with the Beach Bar a short walk down the waterfront. Then head up into Mongoose Junction for the boutiques, Golden Hour, The St John Experience Gallery, Sun Dog Cafe, and Bajo el Sol. Put it all on your St John itinerary and the afternoon is covered. We keep a longer St John travel guide for guests, so message us if you want it before your trip.
