St Thomas is part of the US Virgin Islands and THE duty free shoppers paradise in the Caribbean. Charlotte Amalie is the capital and this quaint town is a joy to walk around with its cobbled streets and alley ways filled with the best shops in the Caribbean but not so much -in your face- as the other islands.

The best beach is Magen's Bay (voted one of the top 10 beaches of the world) and is approximately 6 miles away from the capital on the other side of the island.

This island was settled at different periods buy both the Dutch and the French so there are two distinct halves to the island. The capital is Philipsburg where the cruise ships dock at the quayside. This is a delightful warren of narrow streets with interesting shops and leafy courtyard cafes. This is a wonderful place to wander around starting in Wathey Square where you will fund a fine collection of West Indian Gingerbread houses. The French Capital is Marigot- worth visiting for its markets, caf lined waterfront and the chic boutiques of Marina Port La Royale.

This is the largest of the British Virgin Islands and as a result they drive on the left (as in the UK) confusing the American tourists- Road Town is the capital and is nestled at bottom of a backdrop of mountains. There are 2 cruise terminals within walking distance to the shops. Just up an over the mountain on the other side of the island is the popular Cane Garden Beach - this is a lovely palm fringed sweep of white sand. It takes about 10-15 minutes to get there with some magnificent views of the island and the cost is -6 in a shared minibus - taxi. There is an opportunity to swim with the dolphins in the dolphin sanctuary just to the South of Road Town. Also another must here are the Baths at Virgin Gorda the massive volcanic boulders which form secluded pools and grottos.
