Having a hard time deciding where to take your family this summer? Well then, make your vacation a trip to St Thomas in the USVI, where fun and excitement never run out.
Beach bumming - Sun, sea and sand. That's what the island paradise is about and the beaches in St Thomas don't disappoint. Let the soft and powdery white sand massage your feet as you walk barefooted, or let it do your whole body when you lie on top of it while having your tan done. The warm crystal clear water is perfect for cooling down after sometime of sun loving. Highly recommended are; Magens, Little Magens, Lindberg, Turtlecove and Sugar bay.
Snorkeling and super snorkeling - If you love what you see on the ground, wait till you go underwater. The island's teeming marine life is sure to hold you in utter amazement. Watch the local fishes of different sizes, as well as rays, octopuses, turtles and moray eels as if you are inside a giant aquarium. Gardens of corals of variety is also something to behold. Depending on your budget and gusto, you can have this St. Thomas intimate experience through snorkeling, SNUBA or SCUBA diving.
Outdoor adventure - The Nature Trail at Magen's Bay is a delight to any hiking afficionado. The trail is a 1 and ½ mile walk that goes through the different ecosystems found in the Virgin Islands. On the top of the trail is an overlooking view of the magnificent Magen's bay, which is also a good spot to observe the local bird species. The foot of the trail is an idyllic beach with all the package of an island paradise which is the reason why many visitors opt for a hike down.
Food trip - Restaurants and beach bars in the island offers a variety of menu and not just seafood. Steaks and burgers and whatever your appetite may fancy, you can find in St Thomas. But with the local cuisine so good, you are sure to forget about taking anything widely available in the mainland. If you are lucky an eat-all-you-can crab might just be around the corner.
Shopping - There are literally hundreds of duty free shops in the capital, Charlotte Amalie. Why not? St. Thomas is one of the largest shopping hubs in the Caribbean. Some of the best buys here include both local and imported jewelry, china, crystal, perfumes, alcohol, art and clothing.
