Water Island is one of the two islands that sits in front of St. Thomas. Honeymoon beach is a local favorite and has two restaurant/bars. Getting to the island is easy, a small ferry service runs regularly and a free safari will take you from the dock to honeymoon beach (or you can choose to walk since it is only a short distance away). The ferry leaves from Crown Bay Marina every day, to see the times use this link - https://www.vinow.com/recovery/ferry-transportation/water-island-ferry/

Bar, burgers, dogs, and wings.
Personally, the best chicken wings on island are found here (and the fries). This also doubles as a bowling alley and bar. Upstairs there is darts and pool.

This beach is located on the other end of St. John. The beach itself is beautiful and behind it there is a salt pond. Depending on the time of year, visitors can even collect salt (although it's not recommended to eat it).

This hike is one of the most popular amongst the islands. It is guided along the way with signs pointing out particular vegetation. At around halfway there is a spot where petroglyphs left by the Taino Indians can be seen. The end of the hike is marked by a rocky beach where visitors can take a swim to cool off before returning back up.

This is a personal favorite store that is owned locally. It sells a variety of beachwear such as bathing suits, clothing, shoes and more. Found in three locations (havensight mall, main street, and red hook)

St. John Restaurants
St. John has some of the best food scenes in the islands and is easily accessible by the ferries (to see ferry times use this link - https://www.vinow.com/travel/virgin-islands-ferry-schedules/). We recommend going over on the people ferry and returning on it after dark. When crossing the channel at night, there is little light pollution and the stars are amazing to see on a clear night.
Note - Many of the restaurants on St. John will be expensive (save for tap and still and Cruz Bay Landing).
Morgan's Mango
The Longboard
La Tapa
Extra Virgin Bistro
The Tap & Still Cruz Bay
This is a family-friendly place for breakfast, lunch, and dinner (breakfast especially).
