My Favorite Places to Go in the US Virgin Islands

The islands of the Caribbean are amongst the most beautiful places to visit in the world. Amongst the Caribbean islands are the United States Virgin Islands. These groups of islands are comprised mainly of St. Thomas, St. John and St. Croix. This article will focus on St. Thomas and some of its great activities.

If you are looking to golf while visiting St Thomas, then you should book a time at Mahogany Run Golf Course. This golf course is located on the north side of the island in an area called Mahogany Run and books up fast. So make sure you call ahead.

The best beach on St. Thomas is Magen's Bay. Peaceful with crystal clear water, this beach is where the locals go and with good reason. It is synonymous with relaxation.

If you leave Magens' Bay and find yourself with a sweet tooth, look no further than Udder Delight. This world famous milk shake shop is located at the top of the hill right outside of Magen's Bay.

There are several great restaurants on the St. Thomas, but the award for best restaurant belongs to Thirteen. The almond crusted filet of fish I had here was exceptional. Indigo is another great restaurant on the island.

To truly experience the Virgin Islands, plan to leave the island for a day to visit St. John.

St. John is about a 20 minute ferry ride from St. Thomas and is well worth it. The beaches on St. John are even more beautiful. Go to Cinnamon Bay or Trunk Bay and check out the amazing coral reef as you go snorkeling.

Another great way to leave the island is to rent a boat for the day. You can go sailing around the islands and stop at islands like Tortolla and Jost Van Dyke.
