1. Bolongo Bay

Located on the south shore of the island at the Bolongo Beach Resort, the beach has not been quite the same since the 2017 hurricanes. But Iggies Oasis poolside  at the resort is a great place to eat, drink and listen to live music. There is sand and surf still and a great ocean view and we hope the beach will be restored to its former glory one day. Plus you can take a sail on Heavenly Days or catch a dive boat off the dock.

2. Brewer’s Bay

You will find it just past the University of the Virgin Islands going west on Route 30. Brewer’s Bay is a local family favorite for weekend picnics and gatherings. Visitors can relax in the shallow waters or sunbathe on the wide shore. On weekends there tends to be a lot of activity and loud local music! (#2 on map)

Located on Coki Point right before Coral World Ocean Park, this white sand beach with crystal clear water offers excellent snorkeling and diving. Beachside restaurants serve picnic fare including burgers, sandwiches and some local dishes. There is a dive shop, jet ski rental and several vendors renting snorkel gear, beach chairs and floats.

4. Hull Bay

A favorite northside beach for local families and surfers. It offers the best surfing on St. Thomas when there is a north swell but the locals are very protective so be aware. Hull Bay Hideaway restaurant and bar is located just behind the beach. Plenty of parking. (#4 on map)

12. Vessup Beach

A local favorite on the weekends for parties with loud music. Good time to go is during the week when it is very empty and peaceful. There is a watersports hut there that rents out sailboats, SUPs (Stand Up Paddle Boards), windsurfers and other fun water toys. The long stretch of beach is great for taking a leisurely stroll and the water is nice for swimming. (#12 on map)

13. Dorothea Beach

This is a very natural beach … no amenities, bars or restaurants. The Dorothea condominiums are located there in the flat area behind the beach. Being a northside beach, it can be rough during the winter with some big swells and currents that can push you towards the rocks. There is some great snorkeling there. (#13 on map)
