St. John, Virgin Islands, USA

The small island of St. John can only be reached by sea, so it is not as popular as its neighbors. St. John is famous for its wildlife, beautiful soft sand beaches and amazing underwater world. It is worth considering that this island is a place for an exclusively beach holiday. Here you will not find an abundance of bars, restaurants with expensive drinks and clubs. However, do not deny yourself the pleasure of visiting the ruins of the old Sugar Factory, the Vergins Islands National Park, as well as try their famous Caribbean rum.

In our time, it is still difficult to imagine the effect of this law in full force. However, what the consequences may be and how people lived during the prohibitions on alcohol can be seen in the next photo selection.
