Travel Info Is there much to do in st john us virgin islands and what is the weather like in july? Travel Tips Two thirds of St. John is a U.S. National Park, and here you see what the world is like when nature takes care of itself. Friends of the Virgin Islands National Park volunteers staff an information kiosk here. Spend day after day on beach after beach, each with its own panoramic view. Let a friendly mongoose lead you along a woodland trail. Many of them end on a plateaux high in the sky, offering panoramic views of white beaches, emerald cays, and turquoise waters. The trail to Rams Head on the northeast side of the island contrasts with the normal soft white sand Beaches found elsewhere on St. John. You start at the Salt Pond area, going past Trunk Bay on this two hour tour. In Cruz Bay there are gift shops and well stocked grocery stores; there are also dive centers and jeep rental services. Once you've visited, you'll know why the natives call Cruz Bay, Love City. Sights There are tours of the National Park by safari bus or jeep, and you'll find the drivers take a special pride in the beauty of St. John. One well known taxi personality is Miss Lucy Smith, her wagon can be identified by cow's horns entwined with flowers on the hood. (Due to her Popularity you must Book with her by reservation). There is a standard rate for all tours, with stops at key observation points. Island guides will charm you with ancient folklore and authentic knowledge of the island. Others We made our own fun. Its very windy! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/b0001zz... there is a book there on it No, there isn't a lot to do. You can hang out at the beach, there's some good diving/snorkling. There's some shopping in Cruz Bay, not a lot - the real shopping is in St. Thomas. It's kind of small and quiet. But that can be good, relaxing. I was there in Dec., so not sure about the weather in July. If you go, eat at Duffy's Love Shack and drink a Lime in Dee Coconut - it's delicious. Have fun!
