St. Thomas is in the Virgin Islands.
St. john retains a tranquil, unspoiled beauty uncommon in the Caribbean or anywhere else in the world.
Eat a fresh coconut, there is a knarly old man who comes to the tent market in Charlotte Amalie every day with a pickup truck full of coconuts and a machette and sells them for 2 or 3 dollars, you drink the milk and give it back and gives it back and enjoy with jelly.
St. Thomas combines the natural beauty of the islands with a cosmopolitan atmosphere. Charlotte Amalie, the capital of the U.S. Virgin Islands, is one of the most beautiful harbors in the world and the most visited port in the Caribbean.

Magen's Bay
The most famous feature, besides the shopping, on the island. Directly across on the northern side from Charlotte Amalie, a crescent shaped bay with a mile of white sand and several bars and small stores.
Hull Bay
the next bay to the west of Magen's, on the atlantic ocean, and in the winter there is the island's only surfing. There is a shop where you can rent boards, but in typical island style, you would be lucky to catch the owner there to rent you one.
Brewer's Bay
Beatuful, small beach near the University, especially nice at sunset. The landing strip for the airport is right on the other side, and the sun sets somewhere out in the middle.
Sapphire Beach
Beach resort, open to the public but you can stay there too if that is where you want to be. Nice beach, rent a snorkel and check out the nice clear water and coral. There are a couple of bars and a swimming pool, sometimes a live band at night, if you haven't had a BBC (bailey's, banana, cocunut) they are pretty tasty.
