VICL INFO:
Cruz Bay, St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands
Cruz Bay Virgin Islands is on the west side of St. John, facing St. Thomas, and is the main city of
St. John. St. John boasts a total population of about 5,000, so this means everyone knows
everyone else, and friendships are close and lasting there. In fact, the nickname of Cruz Bay is
'Love City' by its friendly residents. St. John does have a large population, which consists of more
than just people! As you will undoubtedly see, the wild donkeys of St. John aren't all that wild, and
are a problem for the Park to control their numbers, so suited are they to the habitat. Left over from
the Plantation economy, these donkeys wander freely and you are likely to see them munching by
the side of the road on tasty vegetation, and occasionally wandering through Cruz Bay itself! Also
keep a keen eye out for the mongoose, St. John's unofficial mascot. Brought to control the rat
population that went along with the large sailing vessels of the 17th and 18th century, they too have
flourished in their adopted ecosystem.

Cruz Bay is a U.S. Customs and Immigration point of entry for yachts returning from the British
Virgin Islands.
