St. Thomas Beaches
St. Thomas is home to some of the world’s most beautiful beaches. Ditch the crowds for some prime snorkeling at Sapphire Beach, or head to Coki Beach for calm waters and vibrant marine life. And of course, no visit is complete without a stop at Magen’s Bay—about 25 minutes from Crown Bay by taxi (entry fee applies)—named one of the world’s most beautiful beaches by National Geographic.
Panoramic Views of Paradise
St. Thomas’s central mountain range offers endless opportunities to snag the ultimate panoramic selfie. Head to Government Hill, Drake’s Seat on Skyline Drive, and Mountain Top, which rises over 1,500 feet above sea level for the most bragworthy views.
Journey Into the Past
Just off Main Street, visit the St. Thomas Synagogue and Frederick Lutheran Church, each the second oldest of its kind in the Western Hemisphere. Stop by Blackbeard’s Castle, built in 1679, and see the world’s largest collection of life-sized pirate statues. Or climb the legendary 99 Steps built by 18th century Danes, using bricks that once served as ship ballast.
