📸 Beautiful Beach Views from St. John, USVI (6 Original Photos)

in #travel7 years ago

Here are some more photos from one of our recent Caribbean cruises. This is on the scenic island of St. John, which is the smallest of the U.S. Virgin Islands. We decided to take a nature hike and beach excursion through the Virgin Islands National Park which takes up the majority of the island.

After walking through the nature trails in the national park we were lead down to a secluded beach area that is on the opposite side of the island from the everyday public beach area. Here the views were very tranquil and the beach was empty except for those of us in the tour group. There were no "tourist" type activities here, no jet skis, loud music, or anything to disturb the peacefulness of the experience.

There were several private sailboats were anchored in the calm waters just offshore.

Most of the vegetation is similar to that found here in South Florida, since we have very similar climates, so there wasn't anything overly exciting about the nature hike besides learning some island survival tips from the tour guides.

At the end of the visit we walk through an old sugar mill and plantation, the views from there were incredible.

St. John is a beautiful island. @michellectv wrote a few posts a while back about some of our experiences when we were there as well, perhaps it'll give you some ideas for the next time you visit! :)

And besides the beautiful vistas, those old sugar mills are very cool too!

It really is such a beautiful island, so many of them are. We love St. Thomas, St. Martin, and St. Kitts too. It's a shame about the hurricanes last year, the recovery will be a long one :-(

This was something that I didn't consider before joining my grandmother and her friend who retired to Florida on a trip to Jamaica in the winter. As a northerner, I kept gushing about sipping rum in a swimsuit on Valentine's day, while they were keen for the ship to return to international waters so they could resume gambling haha.

Plantation view is unreal, the colors showcased are so vivid! Thanks!

Wow, wonderful place. Nice picture, make me feel lots of happiness. Really good job. I will follow you, can't wait to see more nice pictures uploaded from you.
