Port of entry

St. Thomas travel guide

The arrival island. Most flights land here, every cruise ship calls here, and most visitors stay here at least one night. The busiest of the three, with the most to do and the most to wade through.

What's on this island

  • Cyril E. King Airport, the main USVI gateway
  • Charlotte Amalie, the territory's capital and largest town
  • Cruise ship piers at Havensight and Crown Bay
  • Magens Bay, Sapphire, Lindquist, and the north-side beaches
  • Most of the USVI's restaurants and bars
  • The ferry to St. John (Red Hook and Charlotte Amalie)

Who it's for

Travelers who want the busiest, easiest, most-connected island. First-timers, cruise day-trippers, and anyone who wants restaurants, nightlife, and a short hop to St. John.
