The Beach Bar spans decades. It's the music venue where locals mix with visitors to tell stories and share laughs, where cocktails on the beach are always plentiful, and beautiful sunsets are the backdrop of every night. Each week they host singer-songwriters - both local and stateside artists. Open daily from 7:00 am until "Whenever"... serving Grab N Go Breakfasts, World Famous Painkillers, Bushwackers, and Big Juicy Burgers. The menu is fresh and casual. We really enjoy this place. It's not fancy, and while the food is really just pub grub, it is surprisingly decent. The setting and views of Cruz Bay are outstanding, and the prices won't break the bank.

Views are amazing, food is okay, drinks are good. Good place to enjoy a Burger and fries with beverage of choice. The Windmill Bar is part of Neptune's Lookout, a recreational estate. It includes the Susannaberg windmill which was erected in the 1780s. Estate Susannaberg is a former sugar plantation that was purchased by Mr. Neptune Richards in the 1940s. His descendants are the current owners of the estate which includes the windmill, the bar, a 9-hole disc golf course, and a campsite. It's the perfect spot to watch the boats sail by, the sun set, the moon rise, and the night sky.

Sightseeing

There are many beautiful beaches on St John. You can't visit them all in a week, and every family has their own favorite.

Located off Northshore Road, Cinnamon Bay is the island’s longest beach and has its own restaurant, grocery store, campground, water sports rentals and excellent snorkeling. Cinnamon Bay is arguably the prettiest beach on St John. And it is almost like 2 separate beaches. If you walk down the entrance and turn Left, you will find a white sand beach, and crystal clear water with a white sand bottom It is like being in our own amazing swimming pool. So great for just sun bathing and swimming. If you walk down the entrance and turn Right, you will still find a white sand beach, and crystal clear water, but you will find some large rock outcroppings that make for great snorkeling.

Συμβουλές για την πόλη

Τι να πάρετε μαζί σας

Reef Safe Sunscreen

The USVI has banned chemical based sunscreens. This can be ordered online in advance of your trip (Blue Lizard, etc).
Τι να πάρετε μαζί σας

Frozen Meats (Maybe)

Some families bring Costco cooler bags in their luggage with frozen meats (steak, chicken, etc). With a 3-5hr flight times from most East Coast location, the meats are still frozen, to very cold, even after arrival. Our family hasn't done that yet personally, because we mostly eat out. But it seems to be a pretty common practice among St John "regulars" who travel there frequently, and it might be worth considering if you are planning multiple cooked meals inside your unit during the week due to a large family or group.
Τι να πάρετε μαζί σας

Lightweight Beach Blankets / Lightweight Sun Shade (Maybe)

There are lightweight Beach Blankets and Sun Shades available online that only weigh a couple of pounds or less. This isn't required per se, but is an option that some choose. You will have the option of renting chairs at some beaches, or renting equipment in Cruz Bay shops.
