Questions about the St. John map

Where is St. John on the map?

St. John is the easternmost of the three main US Virgin Islands, across Pillsbury Sound from the east end of St. Thomas, with Tortola in the British Virgin Islands beyond it to the east. The passenger ferry from Red Hook lands in Cruz Bay in 20 minutes, the crossing we measured; Varlack Ventures' timetable calls it about 15. The St. John people also search for in Canada is Saint John, New Brunswick, or St. John's, Newfoundland; this page is the island.

Is there an airport on St. John?

No. The National Park Service's directions put it plainly: there are no airports on St. John, so every flight lands at Cyril E. King airport on the west end of St. Thomas. From there a taxi to Red Hook takes 36 minutes on an ordinary afternoon, and the passenger ferry or the car barge crosses to Cruz Bay; a boat from Crown Bay, near the airport, runs three times a day. The ferry guide times each leg and lists the fares.

Where does the ferry land on St. John?

In Cruz Bay, at the Loredon L. Boynes Sr. dock in the middle of town, the Virgin Islands Port Authority's passenger dock, which is why Cruz Bay is the one area where a car is optional. The car barges land at the Theovald E. Moorehead terminal at Enighed Pond, a short drive south, so a car and a walk-on passenger arrive at different docks. From the passenger dock, Coral Bay at the far end of the island is 28 minutes by car.

How far is St. Thomas from St. John?

20 minutes by passenger ferry from Red Hook, on the east end of St. Thomas, to Cruz Bay, the crossing we measured; the Port Authority's schedule calls it about 15. The boat from Charlotte Amalie takes 45 minutes and runs two or three times a day. The docks list under the map places the Red Hook terminal and Cyril E. King airport across the water.

How many beaches are on the St. John map?

Every beach with a page on this site is a pin on the map, each with its own facts table and the date the facts were checked, and the beach index groups them by shore so you can see which are a drive apart. The North Shore beaches inside the Virgin Islands National Park are the ones most people come for, and only one charges: Trunk Bay, 13 minutes from Cruz Bay by car, $5 per person 16 and over per the National Park Service as of October 2026.
