Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
Amalie, the island is flowered and serene. There are quiet,
virtually deserted coves where you can unwind, panoramic
views to enjoy, and country roads to explore.
Heart-shaped
Magens Bay
is just one of the 20 or so powder
beaches on St. Thomas.
Morningstar, Lindbergh
and
Coki
beaches are favorites as well. And the waters that en-
circle the island offer non-stop action - snorkeling, wind
surfing, sailing, and a myriad of other activities. Scuba di-
vers are lured by over 30 superb dive sites in the area and by
the well-organized diving programs, while sport fishermen
head here because so many record catches were made in lo-
cal waters.
Terra firma action includes an 18-hole golf course at
Ma-
hogany Run
, where the 14th hole perches on a cliff jutting
over the Atlantic Ocean. Tennis courts sprout like mush-
rooms everywhere.
The natural aquarium at
Coral World
is a must, especially
if you are not a diver. It allows you to see the coral reef up
close with the strange and exotic fish that inhabit it.
Explore the islands nearby - inhabited and uninhabited -
by joining a day-sail for snorkeling and good fun.
When the sun sets, and it always seems to set magnificently
over the harbor, you can put on your party clothes and head
for one of those gourmet restaurants.
St. Thomas offers lots to do and, with near-perfect weather
year-round, you have lots of time to do it.
Getting Here
A prehistoric turtle, head outstretched with pinched waist-
line, spindly limbs and club-like tail encircled by crys-
tal-blue waters, appears in the distance. A chain of
mountains, some stretching as high as 1,500 ft., form its
spine.
