Details About St. John Island

Destinations » Caribbean » Caribbean - Eastern » St. John Island


Beautiful St John is the smallest of the three U.S. Virgin Islands. It covers an area of only 28 square miles, two-thirds of which is devoted to the Virgin Islands National Park. Although the history of the island is long and interesting, the features that make St John so special are its magnificent beaches (Trunk Bay is considered to be one of the ten most beautiful in the world) and its underwater snorkel trail.
