CRUZ BAY

The heart of St John is Cruz Bay. As “the” port of entry, most guests arrive at the Cruz Bay ferry dock. It’s bustling streets are lined with shops and small businesses catering to the throngs of visitors that come over from St Thomas for day trips and guests making their way to St John for a vacation. Regardless of how long you’re staying … shopping is a part of any travel adventure. Be it grocery shopping or looking for a new bathing suit or buying tee shirts to bring back to kids, friends and family.
