ST. THOMAS SPECIALIST

Island life doesn’t get more exciting than St. Thomas. One of the major destinations of the U.S. Virgin Islands, there’s more than white sand beaches and bottles of rum to be found here.The dining and nightlife in port capital Charlotte Amalie are top-notch, and like the rest of the Lesser Antilles, St. Thomas is rich in natural beauty and cultural heritage. Those white sand beaches are, of course, nothing to sniff at – you can happily dive, snorkel, fish, or surf to your heart’s content on any stretch of shoreline. Historic Lindbergh Bay is especially popular as the site of Lucky Lindy’s 1928 landing. From swimming with sea lions to exploring the glittering Caribbean Sea on a guided kayak tour, there’s no end to the marine adventures you can have on St. Thomas. If you want to cool off, the island’s most unique attraction will likely fit the bill – St. Thomas is home to the only permanent ice sculpture gallery in the world.After sundown, tuck into the island’s delicious traditional cuisine. Make a point to try potato stuffing, pumpkin fritters, and kallaloo. If you’re not too full after dinner, you can get down to the Virgin Islands’ one-of-a-kind quelbe folk music.
