We liked coming into Coral Bay for the restaurants and grabbing a few items at Lily's Gourmet Store. Stay east of Coral Bay on Privateer Bay the drive was interesting, views were to die for and the hustle and bustle of Cruz Bay was nonexistent.

On both trips to St John we've stayed in Coral Bay on the east end of St John. It's much quieter and relaxing and the views are beautiful. There are plenty of good restaurants to satisy you palate.
Skinny legs is a favorite lunch spot while exploring the island. Love Coral Bay laid back life style.
Coral Bay isn't for everybody. If you like lots of restaurant choices and the nightlife and convenience of Cruz Bay - then Coral Bay probably won't be your choice.

Great day on St. John. Started with a hike up Bordeaux Mountain and then snorkeling at Lameshur. Saw a stingray, nurse shark, squid, +++. Dip in the pool and lovely dinner.
Coral Bay is more quiet than Cruz Bay but offers beautiful beaches and wonderful eateries like Miss Lucy's, Concordia and Skinny Legs. Nice snorkeling and the beaches aren't as crowded.
Hey all, we just returned from a wonderful week at Slice of Life on Coral Bay, St. John, USVI. I highly recommend it for a couple looking for a comfortable, well built place to stay. Situated on a hillside with breezes most of the time, you see the sun rise each morning, and are serenaded to sleep by the birds...
