Weather

by lalubug

The hottest part of the year in the Caribbean is September and October. Coral Bay is a lovely part of the island to relax. Coral Bay is about a 30 minute drive from the town of Cruz Bay where you will arrive by ferry from St. Thomas. There is a 30% chance of rain daily. Sometimes it shows up and sometimes it doesn't. Hurricane season is June 1st thru November 30th. Currently July has just produced a couple of tropical waves which produce a thunderstorm. St. John has the best beaches in the Virgin Islands. White sand, turquoise waters and protected bays provide easy snorkelling and swimming.

St. John Budget

by vanderlust

St. John can be expensive. If you do a little prep work you can make it as affordable as a trip to any other island destination in the caribbean. Airfare is the first major expense. If you keep your eyes open you can find reduced fares. Spirit airlines runs specials Spirit Airline. Spirit Air is a discount air carrier. I have read some complaints and some glowing testimonials for them. My advice on any air ticket is to fly direct to STT from the US mainland instead of stopping in SJU. I like San Juan, but it adds time and expense to your trip. Next big expense is your accomodations. I prefer villas on StJ to the couple of luxury hotels on the island. You can find "deals" there also. During off season or shoulder season you can find a house to live in for less than $100 per person per night for a couple. You have to have an idea of what you are looking for when deal shopping for a villa....

Trunk Bay Beach on St. John

by saraheg77

Trunk Bay beach was the only beach I visited on St. John, but it was absolutely beautiful! I think it is high on the list of most beautiful beaches in the world, and I could see why! It wasn't too crowded, so it seemed like a great beach to go and just relax on. I had my first snorkeling experience here on St. John, and it was much fun, but we didn't see a whole lot of fish, so it may not be the ideal place to snorkel if you're really hoping to see lots of different types of beautiful fish. Also, I just used a disposable underwater camera to take pictures, so you probably need a better camera to get some really good underwater pictures.

Leinster Bay / Waterlemon Cay

by arissat

This was a great place to snorkel. Water boots needed here, since the beach is rocky. We were there to see the starfish that are supposed to be there everywhere, however while going around the cay, we went to a school of jelly fish, what made us scared so we had to swim back. We were supposed to go back, but a flat tire made us go back to St. Thomas earlier as planned.

Trunk Bay

by arissat

Beautiful clear waters and nice white sand has made Trunk Bay one of the most popular beaches among visitors. Very famous for its underwater snorkeling trail, however not the best snorkeling place. The corals were partially destroyed and not too many fishes. Interesting only for the trail. You can rent snorkel gear on the beach. Trunk Bay is a National Park Beach and there is an admission charge from 8am-4pm of $4.

Hawknest Beach

by arissat

The water at Hawknest is clear and inviting. This beach has good parking and is easily accessed from the road. Hawknest is a National Park Beach. There is a covered picnic area on the beach. The beach is lined with sea grape trees, which is perfect for getting a little shade
