Information
about the U.S. Virgin Islands
On the
edge of the Caribbean Sea, the Virgin Islands is
140 miles northwest of St. Kitts and 40 miles east
of Puerto Rico, lying closely clustered together.
These islands are considered to be part of the Lesser
Antilles, though they are more geographically close
to the Greater Antilles in the west. Stretching
only 50 miles from west to east and 67 miles from
north to south, its islands lie mostly close together,
with only Anegada in the north and St. Croix in
the south and relatively isolated. Only ten of the
107 members of this tropical archipelago are inhabited.
The
pleasant climate, the picturesque buildings and
the clear beauty of surrounding waters combine to
make these Islands an ideal tourist and vacation
site for Caribbean resorts. Tourists from the States,
from nearby Puerto Rico, and from South American
and European countries see and enjoy the natural
beauties and the pleasant mode of life of this unique
section of America. It is especially convenient
for visitors from the mainland, for no passports
or visas are necessary for travel between the US
and the USVI. Likewise, the money and postage are
the same as that used in the States, and English
is spoken throughout the islands.
The
four U.S. principal islands provide impressive experiences
for the visitor. On the Island of St. Thomas, good
roads and rugged mountains give unparalleled views
of the Virgin group. Homes cling to the hillsides.
Sheltered by bay and mountain is the thriving town
of Charlotte Amalie, a free port, and duty free
shopping attraction. Many Cruise Lines bring tourists
to Charlotte Amalie every day, year round. Tourists
arriving find many excellent bargains in foreign
merchandise; and visitors may bring back to the
United States $1200 worth of foreign or luxury goods,
duty free. Just minutes away in the harbor is Water
Island, the secluded, semi-private tropical paradise.
The
long sandy beaches and the crystal-clear waters
makes swimming a prime activity. Fishing and sailing
are enjoyed by visitors and natives alike, and there
are always sailboats and fishing vessels for rent.
There is a public nine-hole golf course on St. Thomas,
a world renowned golf course on St. Croix, and public
tennis courts on St. Thomas and St. Croix. There
are regular baseball tournaments also. St. Croix
has a race track. The races are often amusing and
sometimes spectacular. Evening entertainment consists
of starlite moonlight sails, dancing the night away
or movies in town.
