101 Reasons to Love St. John
Okay, so we didn’t list all 101 reasons, but here are six darn good ones:
Rich Culture
What do you get when you blend Taino, Carib and Arawak indians, Danish plantation owners and African slaves? A complex history dating back more than a thousand years lingers among remnants of plantation ruins, sugar mills, petroglyph rock carvings and burial grounds. Discover the island’s secrets with National Park rangers or explore one of the many self-guided trails.
Heavenly Food
Wahoo with lobster cream sauce, crab and tomato bisque, watermelon salad, Cuban Mojo Pork, conch fritters, johnny cakes, passionfruit ice cream, pina colada pancakes, mango cole slaw, moussaka from a food truck… say no more!
Ecotours
Get the scoop on the island’s secluded beaches, reefs, trails and historical wonders as you snorkel, hike and kayak alongside a naturalist guide. For a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, kayak under a full moon as marine life glows beneath you. Look up to see more stars in the sky than you’ve ever seen in your lifetime!
Drunk Bay
Discover a magical place where easterly trade winds and a volatile sea deposit a potpourri of flotsam and along the shoreline. Create a village of coral people as waves crash against large volcanic boulders, the oldest rock formations on the island. Truly a sight to behold.
7,259 Acres of National Park
Sixty percent of the island is a preserved terrestrial habitat teeming with tropical birds, coral and marine life including 800 species of plants. Choose from more than 20 hiking trails to explore the tropical rainforest, and snorkel or dive the 5,650 acres of underwater park. Disney World’s got nothing on us.
Wicked Accommodations
Would you rather get lost in panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea high atop Bordeaux Mountain or collect shells along your own beachfront property? Indoor pool or outdoor pool? Rustic charm, Mediterranean flair or luxurious retreat? No matter what you’re looking for, you’re guaranteed to find it among more than 50 Catered To properties!
Did we mention world class beaches, crystal clear water and average temp of 80 degrees? That’s just a bonus.
