The island of St. John
St. John has an enviable reputation as one of the best Caribbean tourist destinations, based not only on its white-sand beaches and crystal-clear waters. With a population of 4,197 (2000 Census) and covering 20 square miles, the island is culturally diverse and artistically vibrant. Its National Park is a virtual treasure trove of sunbathing, hiking, and ecological tours, while the park’s marine areas offer kayaking, sailing, and world-class diving. And the American flag flying overhead means that the island is safe, secure, and efficient.
