Saint John – an unspoiled island escape in the Caribbean Sea
Smallest of the Virgin Islands, Saint John is full of natural beauty, from the lush green tropical forests inland, to the picture-perfect beaches with light sands and clear seas. Choose Saint John vacation rentals close to Cruz Bay, the island's largest settlement, and you can enjoy the relaxed island life, with small art galleries selling locally-made crafts, and restaurants with seafront terraces serving the day's catch. With the sea temperature an average of 79 degrees all year round, whether you swim, snorkel, scuba or sail, the inviting Caribbean Sea is waiting for you.
White sands and coral reefs in Saint John
The beaches are the main draw in Saint Johns, with white sands and turquoise seas, where you'll occasionally spot a dolphin or turtle in among the coral reefs. Trunk Bay has an underwater trail that's ideal for snorkeling, and an islet just a 200-yard swim from the shore, where you can climb the rocks and take in the views. Scuba diving is one of the island's most popular activities, and, if you're staying in Saint John vacation rentals with friends, you can book a private group tour, taking you up close to the colorful, exotic world just under the surface.
Hike forest trails through Saint John
About 60% of Saint John is taken up by the Virgin Islands National Park, and this includes lush green tropical forests, unspoiled beaches and tumbling waterfalls. The Reef Bay Trail is one of the most popular routes through the park, and although it's only 2.2 miles long, you'll want to take lots of stops along the way to see rock carvings, ruins of the old sugar mills and exotic birds overhead. Caneel Hill Trail is much tougher, covering 2.4 miles up a steep rocky incline through the trees, but with a great view across to the surrounding islands.
Enjoy Saint John sunshine all year round
Saint John has a tropical climate, and so it's warm and sunny all year round, and the sea is usually warm enough for swimming. Although it's slightly cooler in December and January, it rarely drops below 73 degrees, and, during the rainy season of October to January, most rain comes in short bursts, so it's unlikely to ruin your day. The most popular time of year to book Saint John vacation rentals is December to February. September is peak hurricane season, so look out for local warnings around this time, and be aware that local businesses might be closed.
Discover Saint John's wildlife onland and offshore
The island of Saint John is almost completely covered in forest, and most of it is undeveloped. With a rocky terrain, there are a number of hiking trails through the tropical landscape, leading out into unspoiled stretches of beach. Less populated than the surrounding Virgin Islands, Saint John has a large number of cuckoos, hummingbirds and other exotic birds, as well as creatures such as mongoose and feral donkeys, which sometimes roam the streets. Bordeaux Mountain is the highest peak, with a steep winding trail to the top, lined with tropical trees and flowers, enjoying spectacular views across the Caribbean.
