You can make "the usual places" seem different by trying different restaurants...
I'm really looking forward to my upcoming trip since it'll be my first in quite a few years where it's just me and my wife. That's a lot less people to worry about making happy.

Diamond Cay is pretty quiet but IMO there's still plenty to do there. There's always turtles right around the small mooring field. You can hike to the bubbly pool. Both Sandy Spit and Cay are close by. B-Line and Foxys Taboo.

We have not done the Fat Virgin (good?) Never been to Scrub Island or Monkey point Have not done Wreck of the Rhone (will it be to windy) - Definitely give Fat Virgin's Cafe a try. Excellent value and my teanage crew in June loved the food. - Scrub Island is worth a visit especially if it coincides with a Full Moon Party so that you can take the free ferry to Trellis Bay. Kids will enjoy the multilevel pool and hot tub. - Monkey Point can have excellent snorkeking if there is no strong north swell. In June the cove was full of bait fish and dozens of tarpon. No baitfish when we visited 2 weeks ago. You also have the nearby overnight mooring balls by the Guana island Resort. Comfortable if no north swell. Nice sundown views. - Wreck of the Rhone snorkel was a highlight for my 11, 16, 20 year old niece and nephews in June. On/near JVD: - Hike to the Bubbly Pool by Diamond Cay. - Hike the mountain road from White Bay to Great Harbour, then take the coastal road back to White Bay - 3 hrs with a stop at Foxy's. - Try dinner at Ali Baba's. Ate there for the first time 2 weeks ago and thought it was excellent. - Try dinner at Sydney's Peace & Love. Ribs are excellent, and lobster is as good as you get on Anegada. - Nearby Sandy Cay has NPT day moorings and there is an interesting 30 minute hiking trail around the island. - At the Baths, make sure to snorkel out to the point on both sides of Devils Bay. Lots of interesting underwater rock formations and tunnels. - Spend the night at Leverick Bay marina and catch the Michael Bean show. Rent a vehicle for an island tour including stops at Hog Heaven and Coppermine Point. Can also hike down to the Baths if the swell is too high to moor and dinghy ashore. Good opportunity to reprovision in Spanishtown. - Visit ST JOHN! Beautiful beaches, great snorkeling, plenty of mooring balls ($26), visit the Annaberg Plantation ruins (short hike from Leinster Bay), hike to the petroglyph rock carvings (pre-Columbus) and nearby rum distillery ruins. Spend a few hours checking out the shops and bars in Cruz Bay. Also a handy spot to reprovision.
