No! This is true for all of the US Virgin Islands. Customs allows a Duty Free Allowance of $1600 when returning to the US as well as being able to bring back five bottles of liquor duty free or six if one is locally produced, like Cruzan Rum. Often you will find good savings in bringing liquor back home.
Can I wear my bathing suit into town and into stores?
NO! Folks who live and work on St John are quite modest. Please cover up when going into stores when on the way to or from your beach day.
Ladies: this means not showing your bikini.
Guys: This means no bare chests.
What is the customary greeting on St. John?
"Good day" or “Good morning/afternoon.” It is customary on St John to acknowledge a person, whether a shopkeeper or a wait staff person in a restaurant, by saying a simple 'good morning/afternoon' before starting your transaction (like ordering your breakfast or asking for an item in a store). What a lovely custom.
