Saint Thomas is an island in the Caribbean Sea that is part of the U.S Virgin Islands in the Atlantic Ocean. Charlotte Amalie, the capital of the U.S Virgin Islands, is located on St. Thomas.
The island's natural attractions include numerous bays and beaches. Visitors to Coral World Ocean Park can observe the rich sea life from a 20-foot-high tower in the ocean.
St. Thomas Synagogue, Fort Christian, and Blackbeard's Castle, one of the archipelago's five national historic landmarks, are among the important Danish structures in Charlotte Amalie. Saint Thomas Harbour, located in the heart of the capital, is an important port of call in the Caribbean, having served as a significant commercial port for centuries.
As a pirate haven, the island is known for its pirate myths and stories, which you can learn about at the Pirates' Treasure Museum.
Several of Saint Thomas' white sand beaches, most notably Magens Bay Beach and Sapphire Beach, are ideal for swimming and snorkelling due to the island's calm and protected seas, which may be observed in real time via live webcams.
