Anyone familiar with St. John Island?

[Hamilbet]

Anyone been to, go to or have a house there?

If so... Any suggestions on:
- What not to miss doing
- What to skip
- What to avoid
- "I know a guy to get you..."
- Etc????

I went to St. Thomas and St. John on my honeymoon, 20 years ago.

I remember other than snorkeling, it was kind of boring... at least back then.

I thought of a few questions for the regulars. I'm leaving Friday and going with a group of friends and renting an SUV:

- should we go food shopping / beer pick up in St. Thomas before taking the ferry over?
- should I bring smokes. Because its an island are they like $20 a pack?
- Can we drive ANYWHERE on the island (parks, beaches, etc)?
- If so, do we have to buy a pass
- Know of any charter or day trip or boat rental places you personally used and would recommend?
- Are the police ball busters or do they acknowledge everyone is there to have a good time?
