We have our own traditional gear that we bring, but had a very informative conversation with Andrew and Kara about full face masks. We decided that we would rent one from them, should we decid...

Part 2 - Trip Report October 27 - Nov 6

Here is the second part of the trip report. My wife completed this some time ago, but I am just now posting it. Again, this is very long and if you don’t like long reports you might want to skip this. We didn’t have quite as exciting snorkeling to report as in the first part, so I spend more time ta...

Re: Halloween Rollcall 2018

Is this still in the works? Would love to meet up with the group at the beach. We are on island 10/28 - 11/6. I haven't seen any updates recently on here or on the Addicted to St John Facebook page.

Re: Any News on Aqua Bistro

Thanks! I must have missed that in the News of St John. I normally read it pretty closely, when Jen posts something.

Hoping to be back in July and my trip to STJ wouldn't be complete without Ponzu Tuna! :D

Any News on Aqua Bistro

I haven't seen or heard anything regarding Aqua Bistro in some time. Are there any updates on when they will open back up?

Maho Parking Lot Closing for 2.5 Months

Apparently the Maho parking lot will be closed from September 1st until November 15th. Given that timeline is undoubtedly an "Island Time" estimate, who knows how long it will actually be closed.

Re: Caneel Bay Access to Honeymoon Beach

I know you can park outside the gate and walk in. I am not sure about the paid parking.

Re: Long Trip Report October 11-20, 2016

Both Haulover North and South are pebble beaches. They both have gorgeous views, but my guess is that your wife is looking for a sandy beach instead.

Arrived Today 10/11- Rip Tide Warning - What Beaches to Hit

We just arrived today and are seeing the rip tide and high surf warnings. Should all the north shore beaches be avoided are are Maho and Francis protected enough to be ok? Sounds like at least some of the warnings go until Thursday evening
