St. John, Unspoiled Gem

by Amiga - last update: Sep 11, 2002

<font color=magenta>When I first visited St. John 20 years ago, I imagined that this stunning little isle would soon be overdeveloped and spoiled of its' low key charm and natural beauty. After another half dozen visits, the last being 2 years ago, I can say that this fortunately has not happened. St. John has largely been saved by the beneficence of John D. Rockefeller who donated the land which made 2/3 of the island a National Park, forever protected from development. It also has no airport, no cruise ship dock and no casinos. It has a dusty little town with a least a dozen quite good resturants and some interesting arts and crafts. It draws those who love the beach, hiking, camping and a low key vacation full of sun, the turquoise blue of the sea and nature's wonders. Please visit my BRITISH VIRGIN ISLAND'S travelogue to learn about another wonderful group of islands.<font/>
