It does make for a long day and really cuts down on time for anything else. But it is a beautiful beach. Get there early. Last March we decided to charter a 25' dive boat right at the red hook dock and he took us over to several snorkling areas at St John and we were back at the ship by noon. The cost was split between 4 of us and was about $400. A little steep but when you factor everything else in it was worth it to us. We were at St John in 15-20 minutes.
