It’s been a bit since I provided a little St. John island update, so here we go!
As you know, high season is right around the corner! Vacationers are slowly starting to trickle back to the island, but overall, it remains nice and quiet here in St. John. The beaches are anything but crowded, parking is easy to come by and you can get a seat at just about any barstool on island. That’s a win-win!
The majority of the restaurants have reopened or are reopening soon. Extra Virgin Bistro opens tonight, and I could not be more excited for that! Lime Inn and Lime Out reopened last week, and Morgan’s Mango is back open too. In Cruz Bay, the only spots that remain closed are Banana Deck, Drink and La Tapa. Skinny Legs, Pizzabar in Paradise and Miss Lucy’s all remain closed in Coral Bay. The campground at Cinnamon Bay reopens November 1st and ZoZo’s at Caneel Bay will reopen in December. Pizza Pi reopens next month and Lovango Resort + Beach Club reopens in December.
The former Joe’s Rum Hut and Quiet Mon Pub are still undergoing renovations. Rum Hut will now be called Karma, from what I hear, and Quiet Mon Pub is now The Blind Donkey. I will keep you posted on both of those spots.
As I mentioned last week, we are currently in the midst of sea turtle nesting season. Dalton and I took a walk on the beach over the weekend, and we stumbled on not one, but two marked nests! How exciting!
The St. John Cancer Fund held a Block Party over the weekend, and it was a great success! It’s so nice to see our longtime events happening again!
Ok, well I think I will end today’s post here. Have a fantastic day, everyone!
