We are 26+ year visitors to STJ that started venturing over to VG several years ago.

On STJ, be prepared to drive to the beaches. Walking distance to beaches is very rare and the options available tend to be speedy. Beaches are more populated.

Cruz Bay is a great walking, eating and thinking village and we always miss it when staying on VG. When we stay on STJ, we always head to Cruz Bay for the evening.

STT - all our trips were stop overs in the way to STJ but still enjoyable. RickG’s advice is excellent.

We sailed the USVIs in February on a crewed charter and loved seeing spots we overlooked for years.
