Hello everyone, and happy Friday! I see that the arctic weather is affecting a great deal of the country this weekend, so I figured this would be a great time for a substantial escape to St. John. How does a drive along Route 20 – also known as North Shore Road – sound? It’s also a great way to familiarize yourself with the locations of the island’s most popular spots.
I strapped the GoPro to the Jeep last week and filmed this video in 4k for you all. I started at the Cruz Bay overlook and ended just past Maho Bay. It’s just over 21 minutes long, so grab a cup of coffee or perhaps a mimosa or two (no judgement!) and enjoy the ride! Looking for a specific place? Here’s a little cheat sheet:
- Entering Virgin Islands National Park – :46
- Caneel Bay overlook – 2:32
- Caneel Bay entrance (ZoZo’s & Caneel Bay Beach Club) – 4:12
- Hawksnest – 5:58
- Gibney & Oppenheimer area – 7:18
- View of Hawksnest Bay – 7:52
- Easter Rock – 8:05
- Peace Hill & Denis Bay parking – 8:28
- Jumbie parking – 9:00
- Trunk Bay overlook – 10:02
- Trunk parking & entrance – 11:05
- Cinnamon Bay – 15:19
- Maho Bay overlook – 17:22
- Maho – 18:58

Hi Jenn, this is fun, and makes you realize minimal time in the car versus getting to the beach and water is the goal. Curious if this is the best route to Little Lameshure Bay, or lesser as I call it? I studied there in 1984 for six weeks for my senior college biology degree and want to go back. Thanks for all the tidbits!
