If you’ve been dreaming about soft sands and clear waters, I know exactly how you feel—I couldn’t wait to experience that for myself. When I arrived on St. Thomas, I found beaches that completely lived up to the dream. I wandered along powdery white shores, dipped into turquoise bays, and let those warm Caribbean breezes wash over me. You’ll love how easy it is to unwind here, whether you’re snorkeling through coral reefs or just soaking up the sun with nowhere to be. I promise, it’s one of those places you won’t want to leave.

Highlights:

  • Relax on the famous white sands of Magens Bay, a calm, heart-shaped beach perfect for swimming.
  • Snorkel with sea turtles and vibrant coral at Coki Beach.
  • Unwind in peaceful seclusion at Lindquist Beach, part of a protected nature preserve.
  • Enjoy local food and gentle waves at Sapphire Beach, with great views of St. John.
