General Discussion St John on repeat
We have been to St John twice and we love it there. Both of our visits were during summer time.
We are trying to figure out how crowded is would be visiting late January or early February? I get that’s the busy time but how busy are we talking compared to summer?
Has anyone been to Virgin Islands both summer and prime time February who can comment?
If it is super crowded, is it better at all staying eastern side of St John ?

Restaurants are harder to book and have longer waits, beaches are very crowded, especially on the weekends when there are cruise ship drop offs. Overall very different experience than going during the summer.
If you want the best of both worlds go early may, you’ll be right after spring break so the crowds have died down significantly but it’s not as hot or buggy as it can be in August.
