Best beaches on the islands
Three islands means three times more beaches to discover in the US Virgin Islands, and each seaside spot has its very own characteristics that give you a unique beach experience every day. Sandy, rocky, or pebbled, swimmer-friendly calm waters or surfer's delight, whether your plans are to soak up the sun or to ride a wave, you're certain to find a coastal stretch that will perfectly fit the bill.
Take a drive to the various secluded bays for some "me-time", sip a cocktail at one of the resort-lined beaches, or make new friends at the weekly beach parties. Sun-bathing, windsurfing, snorkelling, hiking, kayaking, or socialising, the USVI have everything to make your day as relaxing or as exciting as you want it to be.
