Best Travel Spots: The Caribbean

St. Thomas, the most populous of the three main islands, boasts towering emerald mountains and spectacular beaches. But it’s best known for family-friendly diversions (from a gondola ride overlooking the main town, Charlotte Amalie, to Coral World, a combination aquarium-mini-theme park) and for phenomenal shopping, where hundreds of shops and boutiques line historic streets and alleys. Add in great nightlife and restaurants and you’ve got an unbeatable combination.
