St. John Shop Talk

For unique shopping, St. John is the place!

For a unique shopping experience that includes lots of island-made goods, St. John is the place. More than pristine beaches and National Park, St. John is an island of artists, artisans and distinctive shops. All of them duty free. Just steps away from the ferry docks, Cruz Bay offers tradition and flights of the fancy in only a few blocks. Wharfside Village (to the right as you get off the ferry) and Mongoose Junction (just a short walk in the other direction) offer a wealth of galleries, jewelry stores and boutiques with items created right on St. John. And don’t miss the new shops in Raintree Court on Bay Street.
