Getting Around
A rental car is strongly recommended, this location is quiet and tucked away, and taxis can be hard to come by, especially in the evenings.
Nearby by car:
- Magens Bay Beach – 5 minutes away and the most famous beach on St. Thomas. This beach is just over 3/4 of a mile long so even on busy cruise ship days, if you go all the way to the far end, you will find a secluded area.
- Hiking – Magens Bay trail access is nearby. Parking at the top of the trail is limited so we recommend hiking from Magens Bay beach up to the top and back down again and finishing with a refreshing swim in the ocean.
- Northside Grind – 5 minutes away and has great coffee, breakfast, lunch, smoothies, and grab and go options. It's a local favorite for a reason! You can even grab some locally made souvenirs while you're there.
- Brook’s Bar (local, casual, cash only) – 7 minutes down the road and a great casual local food spot. Think collapsible tables, cash only, white board menu, ice cold beer, and mouth-watering local food.
- Cost U Less & The Market (groceries) – 15 minutes, most affordable place to grab groceries on the island.
- Havensite shops + Pirate Museum – 20 minutes, lots of shopping options. The Pirate Museum is open when cruise ships are in port and is fun way to learn about the history of the island.
- Red Hook + STJ ferry – 20 minutes, hop on the car or people ferry and explore our neighboring island of St. John. The car ferry takes about 20 minutes and the people ferry is about a 10 minute ride.
