Accommodations

St. John provides relative seclusion for vacationers. There is a mix of resorts, camping, inns and villas to choose from; they fill up quickly, particularly during winter months. The main "towns" are Cruz Bay and Coral Bay. Several small inns are available in those areas, as are a few vacation homes and condos. A stay in these areas will allow easy access to popular restaurants, bars and shopping. Access to beaches will require a short 8-20 minute drive depending on destination.
