LOW SEASON 2023
Summer season in St John Virgin Islands is considered low season. Mid-August to mid-October is the slowest time of year in terms of traveler traffic. St Johns off season is a great time to come to get the most peaceful visit on island and less traveled hikes and beaches. However, this also means that some restaurants or other establishments will take somewhat of a break during the slowest part of the low season. Whether it be a week, two weeks, or a month, an establishment may be completely closed or very limited hours for a period during this time. It may be a good idea to check if your desired restaurant is open before you head out.
Some establishments that we understand to have a good shot of being open are as follows:
• Beach Bar, • Woody’s • 420 • Surf Side Cantina • Salty Mongoose • High Tide • Longboard • Tap Room • Greengos • Cruz Bay Landing • Downtown Sips • Shambles • Windmill Bar • Upstairs Bar & Grill • Little Olive Food Truck • Maho Crossroads • Trunk Bay • Cinnamon Bay • Love City Wing Spot • Tap & Still
Here’s more info on each of the restaurants to get a better idea of their hours and what their menu offers. Of course, check out their website or facebook page for the most accurate information, most recent menu courses, and any important public announcements about their status or hours.
