St. John Off the Beaten Track – Post Hurricane

This is easily the best book for those considering visiting the park. It focuses only on the island of St. John, where the park is located. It is excellent as a source of all sorts of information. It has been through several editions, the most recent of which was released in 2020, updated for the devastation the hurricane caused. We use this book personally and recommend it.

St. John Beach Guide

Simply calling this book a beach guide is quite an understatement. It is certainly a good guide to the beaches, but it is also a beautiful hardcover photo book, suitable for the coffee table. It is written by the same author as the outstanding St. John book listed above. A highly recommended purchase.

St. John Feet, Fins and Four Wheel Drive

If it weren’t for the beautiful photography in the first book listed, this one would be right there with it. It is another excellent guidebook to St. John and the park, written in a more personal and sometimes humorous tone. It is lacking in the graphics department, but if you’re just looking for a good read that covers it all, this is a great book to have.
