St. John on Your Own

[jd99]

We are planning to do St. John on our own. It has been many years since we spent an amazing week on St. John but we know some of the best beaches. Want to avoid Trunk since most of the cruise excursions go there. But I want a beach that has paddleboard rentals if this exists. Last time in St. John, paddleboarding didn't really exist as a sport. haha. Any advice?

jd99, paddle boarding didn't exist on St. John when I spent three weeks there either, haha! It would be awesome though, and I think you'll find this article helpful: http://www.sup-stjohn.com/paddleboard/where-to-paddleboard-on-st-john/. Beaches for beginner, intermediate, expert. There are a few outfits that offer 1/2 day and full day board rentals. I'd recommend looking at tripadvisor reviews and googling paddle boarding st. john usvi. Have fun! :)

i have been to trunk bay several times and its never crowded; however my mother use to live in St.Thomas and when in St. John she would rave about this place:

You can also rent boards at Honeymoon Beach. In fact, they have an all day fun pass that includes other watersports equipment. http://Http://www.viecotours.com
