The U.S. Virgin Islands are located in the eastern Caribbean, just
1,100 miles southeast of Miami. Surrounded by the clear
blue waters of the Caribbean, our average temperature ranges from 77F in the
winter to 83F in the summer.
Each of the three major islands possesses a unique character all its own. St.
Croix's Danish influence is perfect for visitors who prefer a laid-back experience.
The historic towns of Frederiksted and Christiansted
offer quaint shops, charming pastel buildings, refreshing cultural diversity.
From horseback riding near eighteenth-century sugar mills to playing golf on one
of the island's three scenic golf courses, you're sure to find something to suit
your tastes.
Two-thirds of St. John is a national park; its comfortable
pace is perfect for enjoying the island's world-renowned beaches such as Trunk
Bay, Cinnamon Bay, and Salt
Pond Bay. A nature lover's favorite, St. John offers hiking, camping, specialty
shopping, and breathtaking views. If you take just a few hours to visit this island,
you'll find it well worth the trip.
St. Thomas boasts one of the most beautiful harbors
in the world. As the most visited port in the Caribbean, downtown Charlotte
Amalie offers elegant dining, exciting nightlife, world-class, duty-free shopping,
and even submarine rides. While it's full of energy, especially in Charlotte Amalie,
this island also possesses numerous natural splendors, such as stunning views
of the Caribbean from 1,500 feet above sea level.
