Many visitors to the US Virgin Islands (St. Thomas USVI, St. John USVI, and St. Croix USVI) fall casualty to mosquitos and sand flies/fleas bites, which are locally called No-See-Um or Vampire Bugs. These Vampire Bugs can have an awful effect on tourist with particularly sensitive skin. Keep in mind that sand flies/fleas (no-see-ums) encounters are present around marshy and sandy areas (beaches) in the early hours of the day before the sun heats up and around 4PM to 5PM when the sun begins to set. It is recommended that those prone to various bites wear light long sleeved shirts and long pants as well as socks and shoes if you plan to be on the beach around sunrise or sundown. The bite of a sand flea is actually a sting and the effects can be felt for hours. A small reddish or whitish welt, about the size of a freckle is a sure sign you have become a sand flea feast. Often, one comes across hundreds of sand fleas/flies (no-see-ums) at one time and will receive multiple bites/stings. (Read More)

The Virgin Islands National park in St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands covers 14,696 acres (5,947 hectares), it has steep mountains, white beaches, and coral reefs. Though most of the tree cover was removed for sugarcane cultivation in the 17th-18th century, the land has reverted to forest. Some 100 species of birds and the only native land mammal, the bat, can be found there. It has remains of Arawak Indian villages.
Cruz Bay on the western coast of the island (St. John USVI) serves as the principle port of St. John USVI. From there, a ferry runs throughout the day to and from Charlotte Amalie and Red Hook in St. Thomas USVI. It is also home to a small shopping center, car rental locations, restaurants, and a supermarket. Coral Bay on the eastern side of the island (St. John USVI) is another town which offers most of the same amenities.
Most of St. John USVI is National Park land, so the majority of the island (St. John USVI) is undeveloped. Some of the most popular beaches in the Caribbean are located along the island's (St. John USVI) north shore. The most spectacular and well known of these is Trunk Bay, which has consistently been voted one of the "Ten Best Beaches in The World" by Condé Nast Traveler magazine and has received similar recognition from other publications. Since the beaches are on National Park land, they are all open to the public and are not home to any hotels or resorts. One notable exception to this is the Caneel Bay resort on the north shore, which lies on Rockefeller's former personal estate. The remaining coastal land, mostly in the north and in the east, is private property and is home to many secluded private villas and cottages. The National Park Service also offers two campgrounds on the island's (St. John USVI) beaches at Maho Bay and Cinnamon Bay. The beaches of St. John USVI are also world famous for their day sail & snorkeling, making them a popular cruise ship destination. In some areas, such as Trunk Bay and nearby Cinnamon Bay, signs identifying the different sea life have been placed by the National Park Service among the many offshore coral reefs to assist visitors.
