Trunk Bay

Shallow waters and great foodie scene. I think the food is superior on Maho compared to Trunk Bay. It's also closer to the cottage which is nice. Amazing drinks and food! Try the Mahi Mahi sandwich

My favorite restaurants on St John
Amazing seafood! Get there early they have limited seating but the food is the best on the island! Try the ceviche or Tuna Poke bowls. Tacos are great too!

If you get there early you can snag a table on the water. The views are amazing!!! Caribbean food... sometimes spicy. They have an amazing brunch on the weekends with live music. Check there website because they are not open every night.

The best restaurant and beach club on the island. You do need to take the Lavango ferry to get here so check the website for ferry times. On Sundays they do a really good sushi brunch.
