Cruz Bay has a distinctive atmosphere that sets it apart from other towns in the U.S. Virgin Islands. There is a perfect combination of contemporary attitudes and West Indian tradition. The locals who live their permanently are supplemented by a cosmopolitan mix of predominantly European and American tourists, many of whom, drawn in by the exotic, yet comfortably familiar getaway, visit there annually.

It is home to most of the Island’s restaurants, bars, stores and dive centers, and pretty much every visitor to St. Johns spend at least a little time there. However, despite being the center of commerce for the Island, it would definitely still be called quiet rather than busy. The pace of life there is much slower than in a U.S. coastal town, and tourists cannot help but be influenced by the vibe, making it easy to forget about the troubles and problems they have left behind them at home.

If you fancy a day away from the beautiful, secluded beaches that are located just 5-15 minutes away from Cruz Bay, then you can visit the Virgin Islands National Park, hire a jeep to take you on a tour of the Island, or browse the boutique shops that line the alleys and backstreets of the town. Alternatively, you can indulge in some of the many water sports activities available. Scuba and snorkel tours to offshore reefs are very popular, as are parasailing and jet ski tours.

Whatever you want to do with your day, you can be sure that the weather will not be a hindrance, as the weather in Cruz Bay ranges from good to excellent. Air temperatures range from 80-90 degrees during winter months to 80-95 degrees during the summer, and water temperatures are 75-80 degrees in winter and 80-85 degrees in summer. Rain is infrequent, so leave your umbrella at home and bring lots of sunscreen.
