Have you been looking for a beautiful tropical place to visit away from the cold of the winter months? Then you should consider going to the island of St. Thomas in the Caribbean Sea. It is an absolutely gorgeous island and I have many reasons why I visit it as much as I possibly can.
These are just some of the numerous reasons why you might decide to plan a trip to St. Thomas.
The beaches are beautiful. Do you like a calm, serene beach where the water is actually blue? Then look no further than the beaches of St. Thomas. There are many smaller ones, free of heavy tourist crowds, and these give you all of the relaxation you look for in a beach.
There are quite a few upscale restaurants on the island and all of them have chefs who are extremely talented. The food is plentiful and there is a nice assortment of restaurants offering gourmet foods and well-prepared meals, so you will have a lot of options when it comes to dining.
The unique topography of the island gives it a blend of mountains and beaches. Granted, these aren't the snow capped mountains that you'd see if visiting the Rockies or somewhere else, but there are still high points on the island that give you incredible views of the water.
It is very convenient that the native language on St. Thomas is English. How much easier it is to go to a place where everyone speaks the same language, not a different one. The fact that all the people on the island speak perfect English should make you happy.
The fact that no passport is required in order to go to the island is something that people like. St. Thomas is a part of the US Virgin Islands, which makes it an American destination. Therefore, you will not be needing any type of international identification or passport when you travel there.
Here is something that you need to always remember if you rent a car when you visit St. Thomas - the cars drive on the left side of the road. This can be quite confusing and, combined with the very steep hills that are on these roads, can make your driving experience somewhat difficult. - 31819
