That is why, below, we are going to tell you about some of the best places in St. John to witness the most extraordinary sunsets.
As we have said before, St. John has several points from where you can enjoy magnificent sunsets, each with its own atmosphere and its own charm. The most outstanding are the following:
- Peace Hill: It is located after a short, easily accessible trail and offers panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea and the surrounding islands. The presence of ruins of an old sugar mill adds a historic and special touch to the colorful sky scene.
- Cruz Bay Beach: If a more social experience is preferred, Cruz Bay Beach has several beachfront bars and restaurants where you can enjoy the spectacle of the sun sinking into the horizon.
- Trunk Bay Overlook: Located on North Shore Road, this is an overlook with an elevated view of the famous Trunk Bay. The sunset from this point is breathtaking.
- Ram Head Trail: For the more adventurous, the hike to Ram Head rewards you with a unique view from a high point that allows you to see the sun descending over the immensity of the ocean.
- Maho Bay: Finally, Maho Bay offers a different and special perspective, being able to watch the sunset while sea turtles swim near the shore. The palm trees framing the sky in shades of orange and purple at the end of the day make for a beautiful and relaxing scene.
Enjoying a sunset or sunrise is something that goes far beyond just appreciating a landscape in aesthetic terms. It is something that has tangible benefits for people's mental and physical health. Spending time in nature, even observing these phenomena, can increase happiness, reduce stress and improve creativity, achieving a state of “soft fascination”.
Studies have shown that people value both natural and urban environments more when phenomena such as sunsets, rainbows and sunrises are present. Contemplating the sunset can lead to increases in awe and a better appreciation of beauty, which calms and relativizes problems.
In conclusion, after marveling and improving your health, well-being and creativity with the best sunsets in St. John, you can end the day and complete the experience at Morgan's Mango, enjoying a good cocktail.
Some of the most recommended and preferred drinks by visitors are:
- Bahama Mama: a refreshing tropical mix with fresh bananas, Amaretto almond liqueur and Cruzan Rum Cream. Its creaminess and fruity flavor are perfect for a warm night.
- Candema's: A drink that combines the elegance of Gray Goose Vodka with the freshness of passion fruit and a touch of mint in an explosion of citrus and tropical flavor.
- Mango Colada: Finally, if you are looking for a Caribbean classic with a twist, this colada has Cruzan Rum, Cruzan Mango Rum, juicy mango and coconut Lopez. The double touch of mango intensifies the sweet and tropical flavor, which is ideal to accompany beautiful sunsets.
As we know it today, Cuban cuisine is the result of the combination of two worlds and its own culinary traditions. The country offers a melting pot of flavors that began with the arrival of the Spanish in 1512, which meant combining their own flavors and customs with those of the Arawaks who inhabited the region of Cuba and had a frugal diet based on hunting, fishing, cassava, corn and a wide variety of fruits.
