Little St. John is an island noted for its lush landscapes that attract visitors from all over the world. It is a favorite within the U.S. Virgin Islands thanks to its verdant jungles, white-sand beaches, clear water and vibrant coral reefs. Below, we'll tell you what to visit in St. John.

Coral Bay St. John

For starters, St. John's Coral Bay is one of the island's highlights. Despite its beauty, it has a few dozen houses scattered haphazardly on green hillsides that slope down to a beautiful protected cove like Coral Harbour. It is a perfect area to relax on white sand beaches and dive into Caribbean waters, snorkeling or scuba diving. In addition, monuments such as the Moravian Church, which dates back to 1750 and is a local landmark, stand out. 

Trunk Bay

Condé Nast Traveller has named Trunk Bay as one of the 10 best beaches in the world. Its sands are soft as talcum powder and its waters are a deep turquoise, which accompanies the green jungle backdrop of this earthly paradise. It is a landscape that inspires all who visit. Its location is within the Virgin Islands National Park, which ensures that it remains free of harmful development. It is also a popular site for scuba diving.

Waterlemon Key 

A big favorite of divers is the small island of Waterlemon Cay in St. John. Its beach serves as a starting point for a 10-minute swim to the cay, where it is possible to find an abundance of coral and marine life. Throughout the year it is not uncommon to see everything from turtles to manta rays, giant starfish and sea cucumbers, only 20 feet deep. In addition, it is worth noting that the south and east sides of the cay are bordered by the fringing reef of the region, while the other sides tend to be deeper. The reef is considered the best place to observe the abundant species of fish, especially the parrotfish, which runs these corals.

 

 

Honeymoon Beach

Another destination that we can highlight is the beautiful Honeymoon Beach. It is a beautiful secluded beach that is considered a great option for those who want to avoid the crowds but find, at the same time, the most extraordinary landscapes. The beach is accessible by trails and serves as an area for water sports enthusiasts, as well as for those looking to relax. A favorite activity is to rent a kayak to paddle along the shore before proceeding to snorkel with tropical fish.

Virgin Islands National Park

Finally, it should be noted that most of St. John is covered by the Virgin Islands National Park. It is a huge stretch of preserved wilderness that is even more impressive when you consider the part of the island that was once cleared for sugar plantations in the region. It is a natural wonder with extensive hiking trails that allow you to reach the various points of the island while enjoying the scenery.
