🌴 WELCOME TO FRANCIS BAY! 🏝️

Looking for a beach that feels a little more tucked away? 👀

Francis Bay is often a quieter choice, partly because the safari taxis don’t typically make the trip this far. Less hustle, more “ahhhhh.” 😎🌊

The water can get a little pebbly here at times, but when conditions are calm, it’s a beautiful spot to spend a few hours soaking up that St. John magic.

Pack your beach gear, grab some snacks, and settle in. 🏖️☀️

📍 Francis Bay, St. John, USVI

Imagine opening the door to start your day and finding this handsome guy just casually hanging out in the courtyard.

No reservation. No ID. Apparently no plans to leave anytime soon. 🦚

Just another unexpected little bit of island life at Stay Salty. 🌴💙

🚗 NO RENTAL CAR? NO PROBLEM! 🌴

One of the best things about St. John? You have options for getting around without spending your vacation behind the wheel!

🚕 Safari taxis are everywhere and are a great way to get to the beaches, Cruz Bay and other island stops.

🚤 Dinghy rentals can be a fun way to explore the North Shore from the water if you’re comfortable operating a boat.

🛥️ Private boat charters are another option for making a day of it on the water.

🚶‍♀️ And of course, there’s always walking-although St. John may remind you that it has hills. 😂

And one of our favorite perks of staying at Stay Salty? You don’t need to rent a car! 🙌

We’re about a 10-minute walk to Cruz Bay, so you can leave the rental-car stress behind and get your island adventure started. 🌴
