Overview
Natural beauty is one of the main attractions of the US Virgin Islands. Lush mountains, tropical forests, curving beaches, and rocky coves are sprinkled throughout all the islands, and the crystal-clear waters and steady winds lure sailors and boaters, who like to anchor in the sheltered bays.
Each island exudes its own character. St. Thomas is the most visited of the islands and the gateway to the archipelago. Its main town, Charlotte Amalie, is the capital of the U.S. Virgin Islands and a major cruise ship port, with plenty of shopping, dining, and entertainment options.
