St. Thomas offers many beautiful beaches for relaxation and fun, including Magens Bay Beach, which National Geographic listed among other publications as the most beautiful of its kind. Others include Lindqvist Beach, Brewers Bay, and Sapphire beach. Secret Harbour and Honeymoon Beach are local favorites to watch the sunset paint gorgeous pastels all over the sky.
Enjoy Duty-Free Shopping
Are you trying to stock up on Christmas presents for the family? Enjoy duty-free shopping all over the island. The duty-free allotment is 1600 dollars per person, including children.

At below-market prices and no sales tax, it’s no wonder that many vacationers spend a day or two enjoying the best shops the island has to offer.
Take in the View

At the height of 1500 feet above sea level, Mountain Top is rated by National Geographic as the top ten views in the world.
