Easy Access to Land and Sea Fun from Secret Harbour Vacation Rentals
Red Hook Marina and Sapphire Bay Marina both have a selection of companies that offer excursions to snorkel, scuba, and swim sites, so you can frolic with sea turtles, manta or sting rays, and loads of colorful fish. Or take Red Hook Ferry for a day trip to St. John or the British Virgin islands for a different isle feel. Dozens of beaches are easy to reach by car or foot, and shopping, nightlife, and fine dining are close, too. Secret Harbour villas are in the middle of all the best Caribbean pastimes.
Duty-Free Shopping at Charlotte Amalie
Just a short drive from your Secret Harbour vacation rental is a shopper's dream: dozens of stores offering household items like china and linen, as well as hard alcohol, jewelry, native crafts like dolls, and spices and island jams, and everything is tax free. Most stores will ship your purchases, so crystal vases or large locally carved wooden bowls will make it home safe. Charlotte Amalie is a cruise stop, so weekdays are your best bet to avoid crowds. Crown Bay Commercial Center and Havensight Mall are worth visiting, as are the main street shops in downtown.
Get Up Close and Personal to Marine Life in St. Thomas
In addition to fantastic snorkeling, scuba diving, and swimming, there is a place where you can be awed by the ocean in a new way. Coral World Ocean Park is easily accessible from most St. Thomas resorts and allows visitors to walk out under the sea and watch a living coral reef from below. Its inhabitants like rays and fish are not enclosed, so you can see their daily existence without boundaries. Feeding time is a delight. As creatures swarm the diver for fresh food, you can get an even closer view.
