　　This bay adjoins the Annaberg mill ruins. Park in the plantation’s lot and follow the trail along the water for 25 minutes. Some of St John’s best snorkeling is at the bay’s east end, offshore at Waterlemon Cay, where turtles, spotted eagle rays, barracudas and nurse sharks swim. Be aware that the current can be strong. There are no amenities and usually few people out here.

Must-see attractions
Annaberg Sugar Mill Ruins
US Virgin Islands
　　Part of the national park, this site near Leinster Bay is home to the most intact sugar-plantation ruins in the Virgin Islands. A 30-minute self-directed walking tour leads you through the slave quarters, village, windmill, rum still and dungeon. The schooner drawings on the dungeon wall may date back more...
Duffy’s Love Shack
US Virgin Islands
　　It may be a frame shack in the middle of a paved parking lot, but Duffy’s creates its legendary, tiki-themed atmosphere with high-volume rock and crowds in shorts and tank tops. The people-watching is excellent and the cocktails are great fun, like the 64oz ‘shark tank’ or the flaming 'volcano.'...
Francis Bay
US Virgin Islands
　　Francis Bay is home to one of the most serene stretches of sand on St John, with calm waters and fewer tourists than at any other beach of its size. It's also a prime spot for birdwatching, with an easy half-mile trail that circles around a salt pond over to...
Christiansted National Historic Site
US Virgin Islands
　　This historic site includes several structures. The most impressive is Fort Christiansvaern (1749), a four-point citadel occupying the deep-yellow buildings on the town’s east side. Built out of Danish bricks (brought over as ships’ ballast), the fort guarded against pirate onslaughts, hurricanes and slave revolts. Cannon on the ramparts, an...

Magens Bay
US Virgin Islands
　　The sugary mile that fringes Magens Bay, 3 miles north of Charlotte Amalie, makes almost every travel publication’s list of beautiful beaches. The seas here are calm, the bay broad and the surrounding green hills dramatic, and tourists mob the place to soak it all up. The beach has lifeguards,...
Yacht Haven Grande
US Virgin Islands
　　Next door to Havensight is this marina and chic shop complex. Gucci and Louis Vuitton headline the tony roster, along with several waterfront bistros where you can sip cosmos and watch megayachts drift into dock. Among the monthly calendar of events is a farmers market with produce and crafts. ...
Virgin Islands National Park
US Virgin Islands
　　VI National Park covers two-thirds of St John, plus 5650 acres underwater. It’s a tremendous resource, offering miles of shoreline, pristine reefs and 26 hiking trails. The park visitor center sits on the dock across from the Mongoose Junction shopping arcade. It’s an essential first stop to obtain free guides...
Honeymoon Beach
US Virgin Islands
　　Water Island’s palm-lined main attraction offers fine swimming and snorkeling in calm, shallow water. A couple of beach bars sell drinks, sandwiches and fish tacos. Dinghy's also rents snorkel gear and kayaks. Expect peace and quiet – unless a cruise ship is in port, and then you’ll have plenty of...
Bolongo Bay Beach Resort
US Virgin Islands
　　Fun, casual, family-owned Bolongo offers a full array of water sports. The rooms won’t win awards for size or decor, but who cares? You’ll be outside. 'Ocean-view' rooms are on the 2nd and 3rd floors; 'beachfront' rooms are on the 1st floor. All have sea views and private patios. The...
Isaac Bay
US Virgin Islands
　　This secluded beach off Rte 82 offers no shade or facilities, and you'll have to hike about 20 minutes through scrub to reach it, but you'd be hard-pressed to find a more beautiful stretch of sand. The Nature Conservancy manages the area as part of a preserve for green and...
Cruzan Rum Distillery
US Virgin Islands
　　To find out how the islands’ popular elixir gets made, stop by the historic distillery for a tour. The journey through the oak-barrel-stacked warehouses with their aroma of gingerbread (from the molasses and yeast) takes 20 minutes, after which you get to sip plenty of the good stuff. The Nelthropp...
