If people are going to persist with an American dream, they may as well wake
up to some of this. The three islands and 60-odd cays that comprise the Virgin
Islands of the US include some of the most magnificent coast on earth and
provides a taste of paradise and a bit of light relief to millions each year.The
Virgin Islands of the United States are a U.S. territory.
Although 68 islands comprise the group, only the three largest-St. Croix,
St. Thomas and St. John are of importance. St. Thomas is mountainous and
encloses many snug harbors and bays; Charlotte Amalie, the chief port, has one
of the finest harbors in the Caribbean. Tourism, especially the cruise-ship
trade, is the main source of income on St. Thomas. St. Croix, with less
mountainous terrain, has an economy that depends in large part on tourism, but
manufacturing and agriculture are also important. Food crops are raised;
sugarcane is no longer grown, but rum is still distilled. Cattle are raised on
all three islands. The Virgin Islands National Park covers much of St. John..
Two-thirds of St. John is a national park maintained by the U.S. National
Park Service. You can enjoy St. John’s natural beauty by embarking on trail
hikes, coastal walks, snorkelling excursions and kayaking trips. Here you will
find world-famous Trunk Bay Beach, the site of the National Park’s underwater
snorkel trail. Cinnamon Bay is also a popular favourite. Smaller and quieter is
Hawksnest Beach, another good choice for snorkelling.
St. Thomas is home to a bustling duty-free port, Charlotte Amalie. In St.
Thomas you will find some of the most sophisticated restaurants in the
Caribbean, featuring everything from local Caribbean dishes to French and
Continental cuisine. When it comes to nightlife and culture, there’s always
something going on in St. Thomas. The island is a thriving arts centre, with
plays, concerts, and art exhibitions year round. Spend the evenings dancing till
dawn at a nightclub, listening to tunes at a piano bar, or just hanging out at a
local watering hole.
