St. John would turn out to be our favorite Virgin Island. Two-thirds of the island is National Park and it is spectacular. Moorings have been placed in most anchorages in order to help preserve the reefs and seabeds from the damage of anchors. That made for good snorkeling at the various bays we visited. The National Park Headquarters in Cruz Bay has a nice museum and lots of information about the island.
Famous Trunk Bay, voted among the world's most beautiful beaches. You can see how close together these islands are as this view features Tortola in the background.
Once again, it is a climb to get to the roads from the bays. Maho Bay was our home for a couple of nights. There are lots of trails on St. John. The trailhead here that starts across the road begins at the ruins of an old sugar plantation.
Francis Bay after a little rain cooled things down. We enjoyed snorkeling here by day. In the evening, we were entertained with reggae music coming from the camp at Maho Bay.
