So, you're still alive!! We need to get together.

Hello Lily,
Cinnamon Bay is still beautiful. If you want to do a little hiking you could do the Lind Point Trail that starts behind the NP Visitors Center in Cruz Bay. It goes to Salomon/Honeymoon/Caneel and then you can take a taxi back from Caneel Bay (or hike back). Those three beaches the trail goes to are very nice. Hawksnest is another good choice. Try our beach guide https://www.vinow.com/stjohn/beaches_stj/ for pictures and more information on the beaches.
If you don't want to hike, you might rent a dinghy and beach hop that way; take a picnic lunch.
Take a look at the thread on this board about restaurant's closing for off season. Those that are, are mostly opening back up in early or mid-October. Here is the link https://www.vinow.com/wwwtalk/read.php?4,42281,42281#msg-42281.
On the 2nd day you might rent a car for the day - that way you can maxamize your time; do a self guided island tour, visit Annaberg, beach hop some more.
Have a great time.
