Nearby Attractions: St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands... In the entire Caribbean, there is no equal. Fascinated by its magnificent natural splendour, conservationist Laurence S. Rockefeller bought about two-thirds of St. John's 21 square miles in 1956 and deeded them to the U.S. National Park Service.
Under the protective arms of the U.S. Park Service, St. John will forever remain a natural wonder of turquoise seas, mile after mile of white powder beaches, sparkling bays, hidden coves, and tropical forests. St. John was formed by volcanic action, as were most of the islands in the Caribbean. It is about nine miles long and lies two miles east of St. Thomas, about 60 miles east of Puerto Rico, and 120 miles west of St. Martin. The main town on St. John is Cruz Bay, where most of the island's restaurants and shops are located. Ferries from St. Thomas and the British Virgin Islands dock at Cruz Bay.
Two thirds of St. John is the Virgin Islands National Park including the waters and coral reefs surrounding it. Some of the Caribbean's best snorkeling and scuba diving can be found in these waters. Underwater photography is also good here due to the clarity of the water. It is not unusual at one location to see dozens of brightly colored varieties of fish and coral, including 12" angel fish, 24" parrot fish. Elkhorn coral rises up to eight feet from the floor some with "antlers" extending over five feet wide. Sea turtles, octopus, and southern rays may also be seen.
Most of the good beaches on the island are on the north shore where strong winds are the least, allowing for good beach development from coral. The most famous is Trunk Bay where the Park Service has set up a marked snorkeling trail. Cinnamon Bay and Hawk's Nest Bay are also favorites. Of interest to many visitors is St. John's unofficial secluded clothing-optional area, Salomon Beach. On the east end of the island is Coral Bay, the island's oldest town, which includes an excellent restaurant. Some good undersea creature-watching has been reported in this area. The south shore is mostly rugged terrain to the waterline, reflecting the island's volcanic origins. The center of St. John is a tropical forest with sugar mill ruins and petroglyphs (carvings by prehistoric dwellers on volcanic rocks around a breath-taking waterfall pool).
Amenities: Luxuriously furnished in soft pastel rattan or wicker, Suite St. John at Gallows Point suites accommodate up to four people and all feature prime waterfront locations, elegant spacious living rooms, fully equipped kitchens, large tiled baths, king size beds, and daily maid service. Huge jalousied windows open to private balconies or patios offering stunning Caribbean panoramas. All Suite St. John at Gallows Point suites feature telephones, cable T.V., CD/Tape players. Cruz Bay town is only a short five minute stroll away!

Places to Go
About St John, U.S. Virgin Islands - St. John Of all the islands, St John is probably the most unspoiled, thanks to the contribution of one of the world's best known philanthropists, Laurence Rockefeller. Had it not been for Rockefeller's gift of money and his desire to preserve beautiful St John, the landscape would probably look more commercial, much like the other Virgin Islands.

Caribbean Travel Tip Child Saftey On the day of the trip or just before you leave, use a Polaroid camera and take photos of each child in your party. Keep the pictures with you at all times. If you become separated from your child, you will have a photo of what your child looks like right then, that day.
