Creator's Key Takeaways
st john really took the cake when it comes down to it and most of the beaches on both islands are going to be facing on the north side of the island
you don't need a passport because it is a u.s territory they also transact in u.s dollars and they do prefer cash transactions
the best way to get around the island is going to be in an actual car that you rent from hertz or avis
safety in st thomas in st john saint croix from my experience it's been safe although at night i have heard from locals and other tourists that there are some certain areas in the towns in the city centers that you just shouldn't be going to
