It is super easy to grab a taxi to Red Hook on the east end of St.
Thomas and take the ferry (you can buy the tickets right there) and
explore whatever on St. John that you want. I highly highly recommend
Salomon's Beach on St. John. You have to hike there from Cruz Bay in
St. John but it's very easy and no one is there!! It is like having a
private beach! It is just 20 minutes, a very easy hike and if you want
to go back into Cruz Bay for lunch you can easy. Anyhow, that's my idea.
