St. Thomas Guide

Our oceanfront condo is at Cabrita Point on the quiet East End of St. Thomas, a few minutes' drive from Red Hook. Here's what we tell friends before they visit.

Getting here and around

Flying in: you'll land at Cyril E. King Airport (STT) on the west side of the island. The drive to Cabrita Point takes roughly 30 to 45 minutes, depending on traffic.
No passport needed for U.S. citizens traveling from the mainland. Bring a government-issued ID.
Drive on the left: cars are left-hand drive, but traffic keeps to the left. Take it slow on the hills.
A rental car is the easiest way to explore the island. Taxis are also available.

Beaches near you

Sapphire Beach and Secret Harbor: both a short drive away, with calm water that's great for snorkeling.
Lindquist Beach: one of the island's most beautiful, undeveloped beaches.
Coki Point: a popular snorkeling beach next to Coral World Ocean Park.
Magens Bay: the island's famous north-shore beach, worth the drive.

Red Hook and St. John

Red Hook has restaurants, beach bars, shops and groceries, all a few minutes away.
Day trip to St. John: the passenger ferry from Red Hook to Cruz Bay takes about 20 minutes. Much of St. John is Virgin Islands National Park, with beaches like Trunk Bay and Cinnamon Bay.

Good to know

The busiest, sunniest season runs from December through April. Hurricane season is June through November, so consider travel insurance for summer and fall trips.
We recommend bottled water for drinking.
