Cruz Bay
St. John boasts a total population of about 5,000, so this means everyone knows everyone else, and
friendships are close and lasting. In fact, the nickname of Cruz Bay is 'Love City', named by its friendly
residents.
While St. John is the least densely populated island in terms of people, it does have a large population of wild
animals. Left over from the Plantation economy, wild donkeys wander freely and you are likely to see them
munching by the side of the road 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 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. There are frequent direct flights from other Caribbean islands and connecting flights from Puerto Rico and
St. Maarten which serve as hubs for North American, European and South American airlines.
