Day 4

St. Thomas

U.S. Virgin Islands

Choose a beach day or explore Charlotte Amalie

St. Thomas is the busiest of the US Virgin Islands, and ships berth at Havensight or Crown Bay, both a short ride from the capital at Charlotte Amalie. Magens Bay is the beach everyone goes to; the ferry across to St.

Ways to spend your day

  • Magens Bay & lunch

    Choose beach time and Fairchild’s in one place, with park entry and rentals budgeted separately.

  • Sapphire Beach

    Spend the outing at Sapphire with your rental arrangements and return point settled.

  • Keep it near your arrival

    Use your arrival area’s shops and food options when a beach round trip would squeeze the day.

Day 5

Philipsburg

Sint Maarten

Town, sand and sea.

Ships dock at Point Blanche, around the headland from Philipsburg itself, and the boardwalk into town is a pleasant walk or a two-minute water taxi. Front Street and Great Bay beach are the easy day; the French side at Marigot and the beach under the Maho runway need a car or a tour.

Ways to spend your day

  • Town & lunch

    Browse Front Street and the boardwalk, with a food stop chosen around your arrival time.

  • Beach & boardwalk

    Stay beside town for a beach stop, lunch and a little browsing without a cross-island drive.

  • Airport beach

    Choose a planned trip across the island for plane spotting, with both rides arranged in advance.
