A recent New York Times travel article focused on the simple pleasures of slowing down and enjoying the relaxed pace of life on the smallest of the three islands comprising the US Virgin Islands. Easily accessible by ferry from St. Thomas, the island does not itself have cruise ship docking or an airport, which creates a tranquility lacking on its larger neighbor.
The port town of Cruz Bay features picturesque, narrow streets, and can be easily covered in 20 minutes. It is known for its varied culinary fare that ranges from Hawaiian to Caribbean seafood, as well as port side bars and eateries fpr all tastes.
Another concession to commerce on the paradise island is the low-rise luxury resort Caneel Bay, which is designed to blend in with the natural surroundings and comprises 160 acres and seven beaches. Visitors to the spacious property can take in ruins that hint at the island's agricultural past.
