Things to do in St Thomas
St Thomas is a Caribbean tourist magnet, fully equipped to provide all sorts of entertainment for holidaymakers. There are excellent snorkelling and scuba diving sites, quality greens for golf enthusiasts and atop-class sport fishing operators, as well as luxurious yachting companies.
Naturally, the beaches of St Thomas are a big drawcard for travellers, with favourites including Lindquist Beach, Honeymoon Beach, Secret Harbour, Bluebeard's Beach and Magens Bay.
Charlotte Amalie promises epic shopping sprees and great restaurants. The nearby resort town of Red Hook serves as a smaller version of Charlotte, providing fun eateries and retail therapy. It's also the jumping off point to other Caribbean islands and nearby upmarket beach resorts.
The educational Coral World Ocean Park provides a unique look at the goings-on of Caribbean marine life and is well worth a visit, especially for those travelling to the US Virgin Islands with kids. Another must on St Thomas is a trip up to Paradise Point on the St Thomas Skyride, which offers spectacular views over paradise below.
