The Westin St John Resort
St John Condos is a local team that answers questions before you book, and many travelers from Potomac use that to plan a week of snorkeling and beach days on St. John.
Potomac sits in Maryland, in the Southeast, and for many families and friends from here a week of warm water and sandy beaches is a welcome change from the cooler months back home. St. John is a small island in the US Virgin Islands, and its calm bays and clear shallows suit people who want to spend their days in the water, with their snorkel gear close at hand and no particular plan beyond the next swim. Staying in a villa at the Westin St John Resort gives you room to spread out, a kitchen for slow mornings, and a base that feels like your own rather than a hotel room. Villa Rentals are booked by the week, which suits a snorkeling trip well, since you can settle in, learn the reefs, and return to the same spots until you know them.

Getting from Potomac to St. John
- Reaching the island. Most visitors from the Potomac area fly into St. Thomas, which is the usual gateway to the islands. From the airport you take a taxi to Red Hook, then board the passenger ferry to Cruz Bay on St. John. Plan a little slack in your schedule for the ferry and the drive, and keep your luggage light enough to carry on and off the boat.
- Choosing your departure. Maryland winters are cold, so many people from Potomac aim for the warmer months of the Caribbean year when deciding when to leave. Think about your own calendar, school breaks, and how much you want to avoid crowds on the water. Once you have a window in mind, a quick question to our team can help you line up dates that fit your plans.
- Planning the stay. Before you book, decide which days you want for snorkeling, which for lazy beach time, and whether you want to rent a car. Driving on St. John is on the left, so take that into account if you are not used to it. Keep a loose plan, pack reef-safe sunscreen and a dry bag, and leave room for the unhurried pace the island is known for.

Do I need a car for snorkeling and beach days on St. John?
