Highlights
- Charlotte Amalie - The capital and largest city of the U.S. Virgin Islands, Charlotte Amalie, is located on St. Thomas. Founded in 1666 as Taphus, it was renamed in 1691 after Danish queen Charlotte Amalie. The city features a deep-water harbor, once a pirate haven, now a major cruise ship port welcoming over 1.5 million passengers annually. Before Columbus arrived in 1493, the area was inhabited by Caribs, Arawaks, Ciboney, and Taíno native peoples. The city showcases Danish colonial architecture and landmarks such as St. Thomas Synagogue, Frederick Lutheran Church, Blackbeard’s Castle, Bluebeard’s Castle, and Fort Christian. Emancipation Park, a source of national pride and a tourist attraction, features a copy of the Liberty Bell and a statue of a freed slave blowing a conch shell.
- Brewer’s Bay - Brewer’s Bay is a hidden gem with a sun-drenched shore flanked by lush green hills on the right and the University of the Virgin Islands campus on the left. It is one of the calmest beaches on St. Thomas, with crystal-clear water. It is a favorite spot for Green Sea Turtles and Hawksbill Turtles. The sandy seafloor deepens gradually, providing an easy sloped entry, making it perfect for wading and swimming.
- Neltjeberg Bay - Experience paradise with a beautiful sandy shoreline and solitude at Neltjeberg Bay. The beach offers views of Inner Brass, a small island, and is great for swimming and snorkeling. Take a stroll along the beach to see a wild tangle of coconut palms, perfect for photo opportunities. Look for a swing in a coconut tree near the water for some fun. Plantation ruins, including a factory, animal mill, stable, slave quarters, and dry-stone walls, are tucked in the trees just off the beach. These ruins date back to the late 1700s–early 1800s when the island was under Danish rule.
- Mountain Top - For over 50 years, the World Famous Mountain Top has been the #1 tourist attraction in the Virgin Islands! From their Observation Deck 1500 ft above Magens Bay, you can see more than 15 islands and cays, including Magens Bay, St. John, and the British Virgin Islands. Known for its world-famous banana daiquiri and extensive duty-free shopping, Mountain Top is one of the island’s first attractions. It features the Caribbean’s largest duty-free gift shop, bar, and observation deck with breathtaking views of the British Virgin Islands.
- Drake’s Seat - Located on the North side of St. Thomas, Drake’s Seat offers a panoramic view of Magens Bay Beach. This tourist destination is easily recognizable by an open lookout area on one side of the road and a distinctive green bench labeled “The Drake Seat” on the other. According to local lore, Sir Francis Drake, an English privateer, used this spot to survey the horizon for approaching enemy ships.
- Skyride to Paradise Point - Although the journey will be by car rather than the Skyride, the view at Paradise Point is breathtaking. On clear days, you can see all the way to Puerto Rico and St. Croix. On Cruise Ship days, enjoy lunch at Taste, a bar and restaurant known for its world-famous Baileys® Bushwacker. The area also features local souvenir shops and the new Skywalk. After 5 pm, Prime at Paradise Point, one of the island’s best steakhouses, opens for dinner.
- Havensight Mall - Marley Natural/Ocean Safari/Caribbean Surf Co. - Local shopping is an optional alternative to the next beach stop.
- St. Thomas - Hidden Gem - This medium-sized sandy beach offers a laid-back atmosphere in a beautiful cove, with plenty of shade trees and numerous picnic tables. Several hidden swings add to the charm. Walk towards the east end of the beach for better views of the island and Green Cay, which is great for snorkeling. The waters are teeming with fish, starfish, turtles, and other sea life.
- Red Hook - Red Hook/Cabrita Point - Red Hook is the anchor of the East End of St. Thomas, offering a marina, fishing and boating excursions, ferries, island-style shops, restaurants, bars, offices, banks, and more. Stroll along the marina to admire the boats or see what anglers have caught. Cabrita Point offers picturesque views of St. John and is home to beautiful villas with panoramic views of the waterway between St. Thomas and St. John.
- St. Thomas - Beacon Point features Cielo Vista Bar, The Calypso Gift Shop, a scenic overlook, and the Rooftop, which hosts parties. Relax at this spacious, open location and visit the bar and gift shop for refreshing drinks and the best daiquiris on the island.
- Skyline Drive - Take one last opportunity for an amazing photo of the beautiful emerald waters and islands surrounding St. Thomas before winding down the mountain to Charlotte Amalie. The Skyline Drive Overlook offers a stunning panoramic harbor view, including Charlotte Amalie, Hassel Island, Water Island, the cruise ship docks, and more. Vendors are usually present for one last chance to purchase a souvenir!
