The Ultimate Beach-Hopping Itinerary for St. Thomas
US Virgin Islands & BVI
With powdery white sand, calm turquoise waters, and dramatic mountain backdrops, St. Thomas beaches rank among the Caribbean's finest. Magens Bay consistently tops global "best beach" lists, but the island has much more to offer. This itinerary takes you beyond the cruise-ship crowds to the beaches that locals protect like family secrets.
Your 3-Day Sample Itinerary
Magens Bay & Mountain Top
Claim your spot at Magens Bay early — the heart-shaped bay is sheltered and calm, perfect for floating. After lunch, drive up to Mountain Top for the famous banana daiquiri and panoramic views of all the neighboring islands.
Lindquist Beach & Red Hook
Lindquist Beach (Smith Bay Park) is a quieter gem on the east end with sugar-white sand. Spend the afternoon exploring Red Hook — grab lunch at the Tap & Still, then hop on a water taxi to a nearby cay.
Brewers Bay & Sunset at Hull Bay
Locals love Brewers Bay for its relaxed vibe and sea turtle sightings. End your trip at Hull Bay on the north shore — the island's best-kept sunset secret, with a local bar and no cruise crowds.
