We have to fly in from Cleveland....so there is usually a late arrivial on St. John leaving a small window to make the last car barge. We travel mainly in the winter....so there can be delays to the legs of the trip. Plus it's dark by 6pm. Flats happen on St. John or at the very least leaks in the t...

54B: We went back to back days and arrived early each day! First on the beach each day but throughout the day we probably had 8 to 10 people or so....it gets more crowded as the day goes by and by late afternoon the number was probably up to 20! It's funny how the island changes from month to month ...

Denis is a sweet beach for sure! We timed it down and back with snorkel gear, big cooler filled, 2 beach chairs, towels, umbrella, 2 back packs in 5 minutes down. 6 minutes back up with almost empty cooler! Path is very well worn. Once you hit the beach walk east (to right) between the two reefs! Be...

Your 100% right! We ran into the water during the "drawout" and past the break before the next wave! Some people though like to "ease" on into the water but with the way the swell was up.....no way that was working! 10 feet in and the water was pretty calm and you could just floa...

Oh another thing about the jeep rental Courtesy walked around the jeep with us and noted the very extensive list of damage on it. Turning it back in went very smooth few minutes and that was it! In case anyone is interested here's a few prices from the Starfish market and the Liquor store across fro...

Here's some random things about our 9 day trip to St. John: 1. Northshore road work: It appears they are taking it down all the way to the base instead of a quick re-paving (asphalt). The work area is only a couple hundred feet at a time. The light appears to work on a sensor instead of a straight t...

We are not long timers in regards to St. John....only found it in 2004! (but we sure know a good thing when we find one....making 5th trip there in one week from today) but we have to say we were amazed at how beautiful the North Shore Beaches were......and more than anything......absolutely amazed ...

Imagine what St. John would have become if not for Rockefeller's donation to the US Park Service!!!

IMHO: I think Rockefeller was a genius! He understood the beauty of St. John and assured it would stay that way with the gift to the US National Park Service! Caneel Bay.....any other developer would look at it now and say what a waste of highly valuable space....but I look at Caneel Bay and say wha...

Thanks Pia

Bump..........any new info.....anyone

Hey does anybody have an update on the progress of the repaving....wondering where they are now....I think I read they want to do all the way to centerline.

Thanks

The very first drive on the North shore starting from cruz bay......seeing amazing beach after amazing beach........it was unbelievable!!

WOW! Excellent Job! I thought 17th Hole had a great great report..........but I think you got him! You seem to love snorkeling as much as we do!! It seems that is all we do snorkel, eat, and drink then repeat for the whole vacation. 18 days on St. John what a vacation! Absolutely loved the pictures!...

WOW!

Probably the best (and there are a ton of great ones on here) trip report I've read. Great great job! You brought the island alive!
