This was one of the most fun and unique shopping areas I've ever been to (and I've been to MANY!) I almost felt like I was exploring. The shopping center itself is absolutely beautiful. The shops are pricey, but they have really neat things - and if you look hard enough, you can find some very reasonably priced items. We... More

My parents' luggage was lost upon their arrival to St John. This is pretty much the only place to try to find clothing on the island. They had problems finding things to fit them and at an affordable price. The shopping center is very nice in appearance. The National Parks store is very cool and the employees were helpful. The...

We visited Mongoose Junction frequently. The shopping center is beautiful and unique with a maze of shops, restaurants and an art gallery. We spent a couple of hours one day, an hour another day and half of a day walking and visiting the store owners. Everyone is friendly and easy going. The shopping center is very clean. Occasionally, you'll see... More

You definitely should stop here, have lunch and do some shopping. I recommend The Tap Room for food and good beer, just remember most of the shopping closes around 5:00. More

A great mix of fun shops and good restaurants in the edge of Cruz Bay with plenty of easy parking. Stop in to the Tap Room on your way back from the beaches for a draft beer to wrap up your day in paradise More

We went during the day and then came back at night. The trees and stores were lit up with pretty white lights, so pretty that I had my hubby take pictures. Found the most adorable gift store (Bamboula) that I bought locally made gifts. Just a quick walk from the ferry. More

Mongoose Junction is big and has lots of stairways that remind me of MC Escher drawings... but if you can navigate the stairs you will find lots of quaint shops and great restaurants. The best place around is Nest.... beachy and fun homegoods. More
