Take advantage of the beach chair and umbrella rentals or find your spot for a day on the sand. Stretch out and feel the sun on your skin as the cooling Caribbean breeze blows in from the water. Next, head out for a dip into the warm coastal sea or rent a snorkel to explore the world of coral beneath the surface. The ferry tickets to St. John are not included in the price.
