I always recommend the ferry instead of the party barge for JVD. You get more time on the beach and less time with people you don't know. But, STT has a lot of fun areas. Check out Hull Bay, Water Island/Honeymoon Beach, Brewers Bay in addition to the usual Magens/East End standards. I'll be honest, we tend to run past a lot of the STT attractions to hit STJ, but St. Thomas has a lot going for it.
