To see the island, 33 square miles in size, you can rent a car or take a guided tour. One part of the trip takes you up and up circling and winding hills. Drake's Seat is where Sir Francis used to sit and count his ships.

Just below Drake's Seat is Magens Bay Magens Bay Beach, USVI(jpg 28k),
said by National Geographic Magazine to be one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

Another part of the island looks very much like the countryside of France, with cattle grazing in green fields. And west of downtown there even is a place called Frenchtown.

Whether you stop atop a mountain or along the shore, be sure to sample one of our tropical drinks made with Virgin Islands rum.

In St. Thomas there are fine hotels, restaurants with an international cuisine, the largest charteryacht fleet in the Caribbean, and a variety of other things to do away from the beach. Again, ask at the Visitors' Bureau for suggestions.


We'll start by touching upon the many ways you can see the island.
