Feet in the sand or your head in the clouds – this is fun Caribbean style.

We have so many exciting thing to do in St. Thomas, the second largest of the US Virgin Islands. How you enjoy the pristine Caribbean and its abundant sea life is really up to you. Scuba diving and snorkeling are spectacular, so take time to explore while staying with us at Wyndham Sugar Bay Resort & Spa. Vendors on some beaches even sell fish food, so you can attract more colorful fish. In fact, there are nearly two-dozen beaches on the island for you to experience. Try parasailing for an exciting way to see as much blue sky as you do turquoise water. Historic Charlotte Amalie is a quaint town and will give any visitor a glimpse into island life. Golf and great shopping are two more ways to enjoy the peacefulness of dry land.
