St John is one of the most beautiful islands we have ever seen (right up there with Fiji!) but lots closer! The Westin is a beautiful resort and it is self contained so there is not much you will be seeking outside it's pristine grounds. However, if you want to see a gorgeous beach, head over to Trunk Bay (voted as one of the best in the world), truly spectacular. And, by the way, Magens Beach is not on St John (as another contributor stated) it is on St Thomas. Magen's Beach is also beautiful, in fact it's shaped like a heart, and probably the best beach on St Thomas. St John is a short, scenic boat ride from St Thomas (about $100 per person round trip). The Westin dining facilities are expensive, however, keep in mind the location and the facilities and you won't be disappointed. Have fun!!
