Is there a place on STJ with showers besides Trunk?

Post by LandLockedBeachLover »

So, we are not fortunate enough to snag a villa on STJ in August. We are opting for the "free" route using points at the Marriott STT :P. So my question is...

We will be trekking it over to STJ on the ferry for day trips to all the great beaches. I know there are showers at Trunk, but if we're not already there for the day, I would hate to pay the admission for all 4 of us just to take a shower to wash the sand and sunscreen off :roll: ! Are there any other places in STJ (close to Cruz Bay) where we can shower off quickly? Doesn't have to be private, but just a place to quickly clean up prior to roaming around Cruz Bay for shopping/dinnner. We tried Caneel last time, but we couldn't get into the shower rooms without a key. Appreciate your ideas :D !

Cinnamon Bay has free showers.
It's like looking in your soup and finding a whole different alphabet.

Does Hawksnest still have showers? Seemed like they did at one time.

Vie's beach has a cistern and hose. Works pretty nice too, but I wouldn't drink it.

Cheers, RickG

I couldn't figure out how to shower at Trunk. There was a turn-handle shower control and the water only ran when you held the handle turned. I thought about making Blaine stand in there holding the handle but he was gone to the car already.
That's neat info about Miss Vie's, Rick. Where? I didn't see it!

At the Maho Bay Campground (not sure how I would feel about walking past their restaurant/desk just to use their showers that are available to guests) and there are no showers at Hawksnest just composting toilets and changing rooms :)

A few years ago the Cinnamon Bay showers were horrific with about 2 inches of standing water in them. I haven't gone near them since. Has there been any improvement?

Are there showers by the Westin Pool or by the beach leading up to the pool?

I agree with the comment about the maho showers. But if you went to their beach, ate at the resturant then maybe. I also would feel weird using the Westins beach and pool it not staying there. Just throwing out options. Vies hose is next to the outhouse that you pass on the way to the beach. We hosed off with it last time we were there. Real handy. Mindy. wet. soap. rinse.
