Story on hiking the Reef Bay Trail in Virgin ISlkands National Park, St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands.

The liveliest of the USVI, St. Thomas offers plenty to do. While it’s also a super spot for lying on the beach with a tropical drink in hand, enjoying the clear turquoise water, and soaking up the Caribbean sun, honeymoon couples may want to rouse themselves for these fun activities.

Largest of the U.S. Virgin Islands and one of the most magnificent destinations in the tropics, St. Croix is geographically part of the Caribbean, politically an American territory, and indisputably a smart choice for couples.

This U.S. territory offers some of the most beautiful land under the stars and stripes. Prices tend to be high for transportation, dining and accommodations. But there are some wonderful experiences to be enjoyed here for budget travelers who know what they want to do and have done their homework. Visit this gem in the Eastern Caribbean without spending a fortune.

St. John is just a short ferry ride from St. Thomas, but it's like entering another world--one that is quieter, slower, and more rural. This is because about 2/3 of St. John is protected as a national park. In addition, although the small island is about the size of Manhattan, but only has about 4,000 residents. One of the nicest resorts in the Virgin Islands, Caneel Bay Resort, is on St. John.

Just two hours from Miami, the US Virgin Islands offer a Caribbean experience that's still part of the US. Three distinct islands-- sleepy St. Croix, bustling St. Thomas, and eco-treat St. John-- serve up white-sand beaches, super snorkeling, a major National Park, colonial towns and forts, duty-free shops, and more.

Although the British Virgin Islands (BVI) are beautiful and popular with vacationers and sailors, it is the three U.S. Virgins that get the largest numbers of cruise passengers each year. The BVI are simpler and less visited, as are St. Croix and St. Johns. Let's take a look at the most popular Virgin among the cruise lines--St. Thomas.

St. Croix is the largest U.S. Virgin Island, and because it was once covered by sugar cane plantations, it may be the sweetest!

When it comes to romantic settings, the sights on the tiny island of St. John in the USVI are hard to beat. Two-thirds of 20-square-mile St. John is national park, with lush hills and pristine beaches untouched by development. All of St. John provides the ideal place for honeymoon couples and other romantics to celebrate, so much so that it’s earned the nickname “Love City.” There are a a few particularly outstanding spots perfect for a memorable moment — and a kiss.

Golf in the U.S. Virgin Islands - it would seem to have just about everything the wandering golfer is looking for: sun, sand, emerald seas, cool breezes that blow constantly in off the ocean, warm days and balmy nights, and several very special golf courses.

Caribbean visitors might think they would play golf, sail and snorkel all the time if they lived in the islands, but Caribbean residents themselves have a much broader range of interests when it comes to sports. If it's true that the way people play says a lot about how they live, then visitors can learn a lot (and have a great time, too) by...

Virgin Islands National Park’s hills, valleys and beaches are breath-taking. However, within its 7,000 plus acres on the island of St. John is the complex history of civilizations - both free and enslaved - dating back more than a thousand years, all who utilized the land and the sea for survival.
