st john celebration — Maho Beach in St John.

Maho Bay Beach, St John St John’s natural beauty is hard to match, especially when you consider that two-thirds of the island is actually US national parkland. And yes, the island is home to some magnificent beaches, from Trunk Bay to Cinnamon Bay to the lovely pocket-sized beach in Cruz Bay. We’re rather fond of Maho Beach, though, right in the middle of the park and home to one of our favorite beach bars in the Caribbean, the low-footprint, high-fun Maho Crossroads. While hotels are few and far between here, the area is home to some superb villas, none more than the Maho Bay House.
