A complete, easy-to-use, fun, travel guide to exploring St. John, Virgin Islands. It tells you exactly where to go, how to get there, and what to do and see when you arrive. It contains everything you... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This book is invaluable for visitors who appreciate thoughtful commentary on local history, customs, and gossip (ie: why the island's only stoplight hangs in the mayor's office). As others have noted, the author clearly describes how to reach beaches and hiking trails--and the relative merits of different sites. Without this book, I never would have found the beautiful unmarked trail that led to a completely deserted beach. If you go to St. John--and are not particularly interested in bumping into masses of tour groups--you will worship this book.

We used this book everyday in St. John to locate beaches, hikes, and places to visit. It is a good comprehensive overview but also includes details about each area as well as information on driving (on the left) and snorkeling. Our host home included several travel books on St. John's that were very helfpul and included other perspectives. I also recommend "Off the Beaten Path-St. John." I hope you'll love St. John's as much as I did. I'm ready to return!
Indispensable Guidebook for St. John

This book was part of the library in the villa my wife and I rented on St. John for our honeymoon. It was indispensable - It had descriptions for all the beaches, including the hard to get to but worth the hike Waterlemon Cay.I'm going back to St. John this year, and I'll be taking this book with me.
