St. John is the smallest among the three islands of the US Virgin Islands (USVI). The other two islands are St. Thomas and St. Croix. Virgin Islands National Park, which is known for its picturesque Caneel Bay Beach, occupies almost the entirety of St. John and is the main attraction. It is home to wild iguanas and fascinating historical sites. Trunk Bay is a white sand beach lined with dense green foliage. Enjoy its natural beauty while swimming, paddleboarding, and kayaking in the crystal-clear blue waters of the Caribbean. Maho Bay Beach offers you the best snorkeling spots where you can encounter the green, leatherback, and loggerhead turtles. Of course, there are other Caribbean Islands to explore nearby. Accommodation options are plentiful, but you should think about staying in a resort to take your vacation up a notch. Scroll down for the top resorts in St John, USVI.
