Shopping on St. John is a fun-filled relaxing experience. Famous for its near perfect beaches and its national park, St. John is also a treasure chest of unique goods and shopkeepers. The island shops are small and very individualized and the island's mellow and laid-back feeling extends into its stores.

There are also new shops in Raintree Court and on Bay Street, and also in St. John's other village, the beautiful Coral Bay. Smaller shops are available in Trunk Bay and Cinnamon Bay that sell postcards, souvenirs, tee shirts, beach and snorkeling gear.

And don't forget, the currency is the US dollar, so no troublesome conversions. The prices are duty-free, there is no haggling, and there is no sales tax! US citizens are each allowed $1,200 duty-free, but locally made goods, such as artwork and hand -wrought jewelry, are exempt, and don't even count toward your $1,200. And be sure to shop for great savings on liquor-those 21 or older can take five fifths back duty-free and a sixth if its one of the locally made rums! Do your own taste test at any Pina Colada stand.

Shopping hours
Shops are generally open Monday through Friday 9am to 5pm and Saturday 9am to 1pm. Some may open on Sunday when a cruise ship is in port. They are usually closed on public holidays.
