US Virgin Islands - St. Thomas


St. Thomas U.S.V.I.
The Virgin Islands comprise more than fifty islands and cays. They lie about 1700 miles southwest of New York, 1100 miles southwest of Miami. The terrain varies from lush rolling hills to jagged sandy beaches. Low humidity and constant trade winds keep the temperature an average 79°F. Easy accessibility makes the Virgin Islands an ideal vacation spot.
