Water Island is one of the two islands that sits in front of St. Thomas. Honeymoon beach is a local favorite and has two restaurant/bars. Getting to the island is easy, a small ferry service runs regularly and a free safari will take you from the dock to honeymoon beach (or you can choose to walk since it is only a short distance away). The ferry leaves from Crown Bay Marina every day, to see the times use this link - https://www.vinow.com/recovery/ferry-transportation/water-island-ferry/

Personally, the best chicken wings on island are found here (and the fries). This also doubles as a bowling alley and bar. Upstairs there is darts and pool.

St. John Sights

St. John is the island next door to St. Thomas and is mostly national park. It arguably has some of the most beautiful beaches and sights in the world.

Annaberg Plantation is a beautiful historic sight. Hundreds of years ago when sugar and rum wherein high demand, these islands were big producers. This plantation was used to harvest sugar from sugar cane, and the buildings are largely intact despite their age.

This hike is one of the most popular amongst the islands. It is guided along the way with signs pointing out particular vegetation. At around halfway there is a spot where petroglyphs left by the Taino Indians can be seen. The end of the hike is marked by a rocky beach where visitors can take a swim to cool off before returning back up.

St. John Restaurants

St. John has some of the best food scenes in the islands and is easily accessible by the ferries (to see ferry times use this link - https://www.vinow.com/travel/virgin-islands-ferry-schedules/). We recommend going over on the people ferry and returning on it after dark. When crossing the channel at night, there is little light pollution and the stars are amazing to see on a clear night. Note - Many of the restaurants on St. John will be expensive (save for tap and still and Cruz Bay Landing).
