Highlights
- Charlotte Amalie - Charlotte Amalie, the capital and largest city of the U.S. Virgin Islands, located on St. Thomas, was established in 1666 as Taphus and renamed in 1691 in honor of Danish Queen Charlotte Amalie. The city features a deep-water harbor that was once a pirate haven and now serves as a major cruise ship port, welcoming over 1.5 million passengers annually. Historically, the area was inhabited by Caribs, Arawaks, Ciboney, and Taíno native peoples before Columbus arrived in 1493. 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 replica 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 one side and the University of the Virgin Islands campus on the other. 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 seafloor is mostly sandy and deepens gradually, providing an easy sloped entry. The combination of clarity, calmness, and a sandy bottom makes it ideal for wading and swimming.
- Mountain Top - For over 50 years, the World Famous Mountain Top has been the #1 tourist attraction in the Virgin Islands! With breathtaking views from their Observation Deck 1500 ft above Magens Bay, visitors can see more than 15 islands and cays, including Magens Bay, St. John, and the British Virgin Islands. One of the island’s first attractions, Mountain Top is renowned for its world-famous banana daiquiri and extensive duty-free shopping. Perched atop St. Peter Mountain, it boasts the Caribbean’s largest duty-free gift shop, bar, and observation deck with sweeping 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 spot 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 legend, it was built by Sir Francis Drake, an English privateer, who used this vantage point to survey the horizon for approaching enemy ships.
- Skyride to Paradise Point - Although the journey will be by car rather than the Skyride, the beauty of the view at Paradise Point is undeniable. On clear days, the view extends all the way to Puerto Rico and St. Croix. In addition to the stunning view, on Cruise Ship days, there is a bar and restaurant open for lunch, Taste, where visitors can enjoy the world-famous Baileys® Bushwacker. There are also many local souvenir shops and the brand 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 relaxed atmosphere in a beautiful cove, with plenty of shade trees and numerous picnic tables for a day-long visit. There are also several swings hidden around the area—try to find them all! Walking down the beach towards the east, where it narrows, provides better views of the island and Green Cay, just off the shore. This cay and the surrounding area are excellent for snorkeling, with a variety of fish, starfish, turtles, and other sea life in the waters.
- Red Hook - Red Hook/Cabrita Point - Red Hook is the vibrant hub of the East End of St. Thomas. This bustling area features a marina, fishing and boating excursions, ferries, island-style shops, restaurants and bars, offices, banks, and more! Visitors can stroll along the marina to admire the boats or see what anglers have caught. It offers some of the most unique and picturesque views of St. John! Cabrita Point is a hidden gem that even frequent visitors to St. Thomas may not have discovered. Just past Vessup Beach (a local favorite) and the Ritz Carlton, the loop around Cabrita Point is home to beautiful villas with panoramic views that make you feel as if you are on 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 is used for hosting parties. While relaxing at this spacious, open location, visitors can enjoy refreshing drinks and the best-tasting daiquiris on the island at the bar and gift shop under the clear blue sky.
- Skyline Drive - One last chance for an amazing photo of the beautiful emerald waters and islands surrounding St. Thomas before winding down the mountain to Charlotte Amalie! Skyline Drive Overlook offers a stunning panoramic harbor view, including Charlotte Amalie below, Hassel Island, Water Island, the cruise ship docks, and more! Usually, a vendor or two is set up for one last opportunity to purchase a souvenir!
