Saint John is the smallest, but many say the prettiest of the Virgin Islands because 2/3 of it is a US National Park.
St. john retains a tranquil, unspoiled beauty uncommon in the Caribbean or anywhere else in the world.
Two-thirds of St. John is part of the Virgin Islands National Park, featuring fascinating trails, secluded coves, and dazzling white beaches. The Reef Bay Trail takes hikers through dense forests, plantation ruins, and rock outcroppings marked by well-preserved petroglyphs. Trunk Bay, Hawksnest Bay, Cinnamon Bay, and Maho Bay are just four of the dozens of beaches. Cruz Bay, the center of activity on St. John, contains colorful shops, lively bars, and fabulous restaurants.
