3 places to shop in St. John on a Caribbean cruise
One of the best parts of being on a cruise vacation is being able to shop for and purchase souvenirs not only for yourself, but for friends and family that are back home. This is especially true of a small place like St. John in the Virgin Islands, where you can truly immerse yourself in the local culture and flavor through individualized shops and boutiques. You can get lost for an entire afternoon exploring these places, which are largely located in the hub of Cruz Bay on Mongoose Junction.
Here are a few places to stop by while you spend an afternoon in St. John:
Bajo El Sol Gallery: A hodgepodge of different pieces is what you will find here! Whether you are in the market for photography, woodworking, paintings or jewelry, Bajo El Sol has it all! You will likely be able to complete all of your vacation souvenir shopping right in this store.
Donald Schnell Studio: If you are looking for hand-crafted art that is both beautiful and personal, this is the place for you to stop! Mr. Schnell makes everything on site, which acts as both his shop and working studio. He makes everything from planters to tableware and even fountains! You will find the perfect decorative piece for your home here.
