St. John Beaches
 
Hello, we will be staying at the Westin in August. We enjoyed staying there last year, but of course we did not have time to explore the island's beaches as much as I wanted to. We spent a day at Magan's bay and really enjoyed chilling at the bar while a summer shower rolled by. I was just wondering if any of the beaches on St. John have cafes/bars? Thanks!

I don't recall seeing cafe's at any of the beaches except for the Westin and Caneel.

I don't recall any either. Most of the bars are in either Cruz Bay or Coral Bay. Since a good percentage of St. John is part of USVI National Park, it's unlikely there'd be bars at any of those. There are many beautiful beaches to enjoy, but maybe more to hike to with a water bottle & your snorkle gear instead.

i agree with previous posters. you can get beverages at trunk bay but it's not a cafe/bar deal.

Awesome! Thanks to you all! I looking forward to the trip and I appreciate your advice.

A few cool bars on St. John that aren't on beaches: Woody's in Cruz Bay, Skinny Legs & Island Blues in Coral Bay. Enjoy! Trish
