Top St. Thomas Attractions -- What to See and Do in St. Thomas, U.S.V.I.

One of the most famous beaches in the Caribbean, Magen’s Bay is a fabulous stretch of sand on a U-shaped bay on St. Thomas’s north side. Like all beaches on the island, Magen’s Bay is public, but you’ll have to pay a fee to reach the shoreline -- as one resident put it, you’re basically paying to walk through the parking lot. Most visitors agree that it’s worth the small charge, however, as long as you don’t come when a bunch of cruise ships are in port, when this popular strand can get unbearably crowded. Better then to opt for another spot to spread out your beach towels, such as quiet Hull Bay, also on the island’s north side.
