With that being said, St. John is the safest of the 3 main islands. We would have a few small incidents here and there but rarely do we have any major crimes that you should be concerned about. The rare times that they do occur the community for the most part is pretty shocked.

Between the two most popular U.S. Virgin Islands, St. John is widely considered the safer destination for tourists. St. John is primarily made up of National Park land and has a much smaller, more tight-knit residential population, which historically correlates with significantly lower crime rates than its neighbor. Most crime on St. John is limited to opportunistic petty theft, such as bags stolen from rental cars at remote beaches. St. Thomas, being the commercial hub and the main cruise ship port, has a much higher population density and more urbanized areas. While tourist zones like Havensight and Red Hook are generally safe during the day, parts of Charlotte Amalie can be higher-risk for crime, including robberies, especially after dark and away from the main thoroughfares. For travelers who prioritize tranquility and a feeling of security while hiking or exploring, St. John is the preferred choice, though standard precautions like locking car doors and not leaving valuables on the beach apply to both islands.
