FOLLOW OUR FAVORITE ROUTE HERE
We've created a recommended route that mixes in beaches where you can swim with sea turtles @ Brewers Bay, epic view points @ Mountain Top and Drakes Seat, lunch at The Hull Bay Shack, Magens Bay and ending at beach bars!
Beach Bars
White sand, snorkel the point on the right when winds are low, marina with jet ski rentals, parasailing, boat rentals, beach bar, restaurants, coffee shop. What else do you need?
Calm flat ocean with sandy floor make this a great beach to wade waist high with a cold one. The beach bar is beautiful and modern and has some really good food on the menu. There is decent reef snorkeling here all throughout the bay. Parking is TOUGH. Make sure you find a spot where the vehicle will be safe!
Freshly remodeled, clean and simple. Here you can find great cocktails and grub like fish tacos, chicken sandwiches and truffle fries! Warning: very steep roads in the area. Take them slowly with caution.
The largest, most famous and popular beach on St Thomas! Over a half mile long in length there is plenty of beach here. Donated to the territory, this beach is maintained and so admission is charged at the gate. Here youll find a busy beach bar, cocktail waitresses walking the beach, concessions, kayak rentals, and if you have snorkel gear - turtles!
Sights
This popular lookout point sits over 470 feet above sea level overlooking the famous Magens Bay and down island to the BVI. Named after the early explorer Sir Francis Drake, it is said that this is where he would keep an eye on his fleet of vessels parked in the bay and a lookout for any threats on the horizon.
The highest lookout point on the island at over 1500 feet above sea level. Mountain Top not only home to expansive views of Magens, the BVI, and St John, but also boasts a large gift shop perfect for your souvenir shopping and is known for their banana daquiris!
Located in historical downtown Charlotte Amalie this is a set of steps built out of clay bricks that were brought over one way as ballast in early tall ship trade days where they would unload the then useless bricks and load precious cargo to head back across the pond. Youll see plenty of this brick in large old cities all throughout the Caribbean, and this is why!
Off The Beaten Path
Located on the south side of the island this beach is only accesible by vehicles with ground clearance. Take your time driving this road as the sharp rocks can easily puncture your tires! The final destination is a beach in a calm bay that is a local favorite and one of the very few dog friendly beaches. Youll find chairs and picnic tables left over from a once popular shipping container bar.
