Beach Bar, Cruz Bay
Painkillers, live music and bare feet at a beach bar on Cruz Bay, St John, US Virgin Islands.
About this view
A camera on the deck of the Beach Bar at Cruz Bay, where St John's ferries land and most visits to the island begin. Roughly two-thirds of St John is national park, given to the nation by Laurance Rockefeller in 1956, which is why the hills behind the bar are green rather than built.
The frame holds the whole bar: stools, the sand and blue umbrellas beyond, boats on the water. Bands play through the evening, and the drink to watch for is the Painkiller — rum, pineapple, orange, coconut cream and a heavy grating of nutmeg.
Afternoon into evening is the busy stretch (UTC−4, no daylight saving). December to April is high season; the quiet months run late summer into autumn.
