St. John is both the smallest in the group and the richest. The constant number of inhabitants here does not exceed five thousand, while more than half live in the largest town – Cruz Bay.

A distinctive feature of the Caribbean region is a large selection of diverse leisure options: each state here has its own “specialization”.
