When visitors come to St. John, they are ultimately expecting to take part in activities such as swimming, snorkeling, beaching and hiking. During these periods of prolonged and heavy rains with thunderstorms, however, the conditions for these activities are poor, to say the least.

For today’s rainy day blog, I’ve put together a list of activities to do in the rain. If anyone can think of more to add to the list, please let me know.

Things to do on a rainy day on St. John

1) Health and Fitness
There are several spas on the island where you can get massages and facials and manicures and pedicures – might be a good time to check it out.
Work out at the gym “Hardware Abs” at the St. John Marketplace

2) Watch a movies
Video rentals are available at Kaleidoscope at the St. John Marketplace

3) Check out one of St. John’s restaurants

4) Curl up with a Book

Books are available  at Pink Papaya Cafe at the Marketplace

5) Shopping
There’s plenty of shops to browse and good stuff to spend your money on in both Cruz Bay and Coral Bay.

6) Kids of all ages
The game room at the Westin Resort

7) Culture and Educational
Check out some of the art galleries on the island

8) Bars
We have plenty of bars on St. John. Drink up, play pool, play darts people watch or watch the rain fall

10) Do Something Productive
Residents of St. John, who’s day off is a rainy one, might want to use that day to do something productive, clean the house, do a laundry, deal with the bureaucracy or take care of  paperwork
