5.0 out of 5 stars THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO ST. JOHN'S BEACHES., June 29, 2002

By	HulaHead (Virginia) - See all my reviews

You should definitely try to buy this book before your trip to St. John. It contains info on 40 different beaches and snorkeling sites that you won't find anywhere else. By using it I located a short trail that led me to the most breathtaking and secluded beach I've ever seen. It was unbelievable! I never would have known about it without this book. While some of the same information on the beaches can be found interspersed in Singer's "St. John Off the Beaten Track," it's much easier to bring this smaller, more concise guide with you when you're actually looking for the beaches. I highly recommend both books if you can get them. Have fun in St. John!

5.0 out of 5 stars St John Beach Guide, February 5, 2000

By A Customer

I purchased this book on our 2nd trip to St John, and it is by far, the only and best book describing the 52 beaches in St. John -- including how to get there, some tips, walking conditions (some are hard to get to), quality of snorkeling, etc. We found some wonderful, private beaches - my copy is so dogearred, water stained, I might have to buy another one for your trip this year!

4.0 out of 5 stars Complete, concise and informative, February 4, 1999

By A Customer

This book offers the most complete review of St. John's beaches that I've ever found. All the guidebooks and tourist pamphlets just touch on the surface of what St. John has to offer. If you're planning a trip to S.t John, you shouldn't go without taking this book with you.
