CRUZ BAY didn't become a port until the mid-1800s, when Danish soldiers from St Thomas used it as an outpost. Unlike towns on the other main USVI there's not much in the way of architecture, but it's a great place to spend a leisurely day shopping, eating and drinking. As you get off the ferry, in front of you, beyond the collection of taxis, there's a municipal park and pavilion - a great place to sit with a smoothie or a beer and take a load off. Keeping the water on your left, if you walk down Northshore Road, you'll see on your right Mongoose Junction , an upmarket outdoor mall, which is worth a look. Wharfside Village Beach , to your right as you exit the ferry dock, is the only beach in Cruz Bay, and while technically you can swim it's not recommended as this is a busy harbour. You're better off using the beach for powerboat rentals,
sea-kayak tours and booking dive trips. Surrounding the beach is the outdoor mall, Wharfside Village. Apart from Cruz Bay the only other commercial area on the island is Coral Bay , the site of St John's first Danish colony, which now hosts a growing number of restaurants and shops catering mostly to the locals. It's also home to the Emmaus Moravian Church , the oldest church on St John. Dating to 1733, this was the original place of worship for the Danes who settled a colony here.
