Welcome to Charlotte Amalie, the heart of Caribbean shopping - and the capital of St. Thomas. Here, charming shops line the ocean-side vista, tempting you with everything from the exotic to the surprising. The island invites you to play on white-sand beaches. Explore ancient mysteries. Soak in tropical beauty on a biking tour. Play a round of golf at one of the most beautiful courses in the West Indies. Scuba dive through spectacular living reefs. Or set out on an excursion to experience the charms of the smallest of the U.S. Virgin Islands, St. John - where warm waters welcome you to windsurf, parasail or master the waves on a kayak built for two.
