St Thomas, US Virgin Islands
St. Thomas, the gateway island to the US Virgin Islands, is one of the best exotic vacations you can take without a passport. The European colonial history here creates a fascinating culture that only enriches the harborside and beach activities of the island.
For instance, Charlotte Amalie is one of the most visited port cities in the world, and we understand why. Its historical Danish colonial sites, like Fort Christian and Blackbeard’s Castle, go all the way back to the 1600s.
But you can also dine at modern upscale restaurants and bars. And there’s plenty of unique shopping to keep you busy. Those looking to stay active should know that water activities and attractions are at every turn on this island.
And nature lovers will relish Magens Bay Beach, which has a stunning array of native flowers and trees lining its beautiful sands and turquoise waters.
