Welcome to St. Thomas
Here is a St. Thomas guide to help you get started on researching the perfect Caribbean Vacation!!! I know you’re busy with life and have been daydreaming about sitting on the beach with nothing to do for the last week. Really, we have so many beaches to choose from you could literally do a different beach every day the entire time you are on vacation. I hope you fall in love with this crazy little island and keep coming back each year for more.

32 square miles
1,550 feet high
85 degrees all year round

The Perfect Island Day!
If I was going to plan your perfect St. Thomas vacation day it would look something like--grab a coffee and breakfast from the Northside Grind (they also serve lunch and have amazing fresh fruit popsicles. The photo above is of their mango, kiwi, and dragon-fruit!!!) Go to Magens Bay Beach to enjoy breakfast. I would then either do the hike (trail starts in the woods close to shed #3) or rent a stand-up paddle-board from Yaks Shak (located on the right side of the beach). After the beach, I would go on a little adventure and enjoy some air-conditioning as you drive. Swing by Drake's Seat, a gorgeous scenic overlook, to get a beautiful overview photo of the beach on your way to Botanical Garden on Crown Mountain. When you finish up in the garden you have totally earned a nap before dinner!!!!

Where to eat on St. Thomas:
There is so much that isn’t on this list. Please leave a comment in the comment section, if there is something you have experienced that you think is a “must-do while on Saint Thomas!”
Now all you have to do is pack. I would pack light, you will spend a lot of time in a swimsuit. Don’t forget the reef-friendly sunscreen, your favorite floppy hat, and your sunglasses. If you find a really cute sundress you should call me and set up a beach photo session.
Get ready for relaxation and an amazing adventure!!!!!
