When taking a walk in St. Thomas Island, you will see the busy streets of Main Street, and the cool green hills of the mountains.
The relaxed French countryside feeling on the far side of the island combines the natural beauty of the islands with a metropolitan atmosphere. Charlotte Amalie, the capital of the U.S. Virgin Islands, is one of the most attractive oceanfronts in the world and the most heavily visited waterfronts in the Caribbean.
Magnificent dining, great nightlife, and world-class tax-free shopping are abundant in Charlotte Amalie. The city's reputation as the shopping mecca of the Caribbean draws visitors from all over the region and around the world. St Thomas is the pinnacle of Virgin Islands vacationing; you can find pleasure in nearly ever aspect of your day.
A mountainous island, St. Thomas presents dramatic vistas in almost every direction. While Charlotte Amalie is full of energy, St. Thomas also provides natural wonders such as the beautiful Magens Bay and great views of the Caribbean from 1,500 feet above sea level. Drake's Seat is especially famous for its vistas. Sports and activities are common on St. Thomas. Golf enthusiasts will enjoy the George and Tom Fazio-designed Mahogany Run course. St. Thomas is also well known for its world-class yachting and sport fishing.
Many restaurants and shopping malls are air-conditioned to combat the St. Thomas weather, but sticking close to the beaches (with plenty of sunscreen) is also a good idea, as trade winds blowing off the sea tend to make these areas a bit more pleasant and you can always go for a dip to cool off. The St. Thomas weather also backs off a bit inland, where higher altitudes mean slightly chillier days and nights, especially in the winter season.
What makes St. Thomas weather ill-suited for agriculture also makes it an ideal destination for sun-worshippers. St. Thomas weather does not include an extensive rainy season and any showers that do occur are generally short. With all of the sun raining down on St. Thomas, wet showers are usually welcomed as a brief respite from the heat.
