St. Thomas Scenic Views: Bring Your Camera

An island made for the scenic route

St. Thomas combines hillside overlooks, a busy harbor, and beautiful bays. A good sightseeing day leaves space for photographs rather than trying to fit in every stop.

Magens Bay

Magens Bay is one of St. Thomas’s best-known beach destinations. Views from the surrounding hills show its curved shoreline and blue water. Ask about park admission and current beach conditions when planning a visit.

Charlotte Amalie Harbor

The harbor and town are especially memorable from above. A scenic itinerary can pair an overlook with time to explore the town, depending on traffic, weather, and your available time.

Make the most of your photographs

Bring a charged camera or phone, sun protection, and a way to keep electronics dry. Confirm which viewpoints are included in your particular itinerary.
