How to Get Around in St. Thomas
Choose the best mode of transportation for yourself by evaluating your budget, the amount of time you have, and what you plan on doing in the Virgin Islands. Here are the ways most travelers opt to get around on St. Thomas:
Taxi – You’ll usually find it easy to just locate one waiting nearby. Expect to pay your fare per person, rather than solely by mileage.
Car – Renting a car gives a bit more freedom, albeit at a heftier price tag.
Ferry – From St. Thomas via Charlotte Amalie or Red Hook, you can get to Water Island or St. John’s Cruz Bay by ferry.
Boat Charter – Don’t want to wait on a schedule or be crammed in with others? Rent a boat charter to take you to any nearby island, inlet, or cove you want.
Favorite Beaches to Try

Sapphire Beach: Located on the east end, Sapphire is a favorite hangout of windsurfers. The views are strikingly beautiful, and the snorkeling is superb.
