Beaches, Mountains, and Great Food - The Wonders of St Thomas

Have you been looking for a beautiful tropical place to visit away from the cold of the winter months? Then you should consider going to the island of St. Thomas in the Caribbean Sea. It is an absolutely gorgeous island and I have many reasons why I visit it as much as I possibly can.

Let's talk about some of the reasons that you might consider going to St. Thomas.

The beaches of St. Thomas will just take your breath away with their beauty and gorgeously blue water. Many smaller, less crowded ones are there also, where you will be able to completely relax and unwind.

There are quite a few upscale restaurants on the island and all of them have chefs who are extremely talented. The food is plentiful and there is a nice assortment of restaurants offering gourmet foods and well-prepared meals, so you will have a lot of options when it comes to dining.

The island has a very unique topography which accounts for the nice mixture of mountains and beaches. Of course, if you were visiting the Rockies, you would see the snow-capped mountains; nevertheless, when you visit St. Thomas, you are going to get to see some high points here where the view of the water is spectacular.

It is very convenient that the native language on St. Thomas is English. How much easier it is to go to a place where everyone speaks the same language, not a different one. The fact that all the people on the island speak perfect English should make you happy.

The fact that no passport is required in order to go to the island is something that people like. St. Thomas is a part of the US Virgin Islands, which makes it an American destination. Therefore, you will not need any type of international identification or passport when you travel there.

Here is something that you need to always remember if you rent a car when you visit St. Thomas - the cars drive on the left side of the road. This can be quite confusing and, combined with the very steep hills that are on these roads, can make your driving experience somewhat difficult.
