Things to Do in Saint Thomas

Dreaming of turquoise waters and laid-back island charm? I was too—and Saint Thomas delivered. I found it to be the perfect blend of Caribbean beauty, colorful history, and unforgettable adventures. The moment you land at Cyril E. King Airport, you’ll feel the warm breeze and start to relax. I spent my days beach-hopping, sipping cocktails, and discovering hidden gems—and you absolutely can too. If you're newly married, I highly recommend checking out these St. Thomas honeymoon ideas. You’ll thank me later.

Highlights:

• Relax on the powdery white sands of Magens Bay—I did, and it’s every bit as stunning as they say.
• Shop duty-free treasures downtown in Charlotte Amalie—I picked up some great finds in the historic district.
• Snorkel with vibrant fish at Secret Harbour or Coki Beach—you’ll be amazed by the underwater color show.
• Take in the views from Mountain Top—don’t skip the banana daiquiri, I promise it’s worth it.
• Explore Blackbeard’s Castle and soak in the island’s colonial charm—I wandered for hours and loved every second.
