Fodor's Review:

St. John's main town may be compact (it consists of only several blocks), but it's definitely a hub: the ferries from St. Thomas and the British Virgin Islands pull in here, and it's where you can get a taxi or rent a car to travel around the island. There are plenty of shops in which to browse, a number of watering holes where you can stop for a breather, many restaurants, and a grassy square with benches where you can sit back and take everything in. Look for the current edition of the handy, amusing "St. John Map" featuring Max the Mongoose. To pick up a useful guide to St. John's hiking trails, see various large maps of the island, and find out about current park service programs, including guided walks and cultural demonstrations, stop by the V.I. National Park Visitors Center (Near baseball field, Cruz Bay. 340/776-6201. www.nps.gov/viis). It's open daily from 8 to 4:30.

Good shopping. Good restaurants. Great bars. Lots of people to see. A great place to hang out or spend the day.
