Beaches

Some of the best beaches can be found right here on these three little islands. 

The feeling of the grainy sand between your toes, the site of the clear blue sky above your head, the feeling of the crystal clear water against your warm body just puts you in complete bliss.

Historical Sites

Historical Sites can be found on St Croix, St. Thomas, and St. John. The Virgin Islands on a whole has gone through quite a bit. 

 Over the course of its existence, 7 countries have occupied these lands.  Being under the control of 7 different flags (as shown in the Figure 2) not only highlight the struggle during history but it also shows it uniqueness.  

Each country left its mark in language, music, food and religion but most importantly they left landmarks.
