A Leisurely Drive
-
Mid-Morning
Located at the eastern end, Red Hook makes the perfect starting point for your island tour. Pick your stops so you’ll have time and energy to enjoy the island’s main attraction – the beach. Follow Red Hook Road, perhaps pausing for a stroll around Compass Point, before heading to the busy Tillett Gardens/Tutu area. To watch artisans at work, pull into Tillett Gardens. Or stop at Tutu Park Mall for anything you need.
Shop for take-home gifts at the malls at Haven-sight, or wait until you reach Charlotte Amalie.
Once there, spend a little time poking around the shops housed in old warehouses and the historic sites before breaking for Caribbean-inspired French fare at Hervé Restaurant (seeHervé Restaurant), located a flight of stairs uphill on Government Hill.
Afternoon
Keep along Veterans Drive, making side trips at Frenchtown for the sea-faring ambience and at Crown Bay for the megayachts. Veterans Drive turns into Brewers Bay Road and takes you past the University of the Virgin Islands campus. Continue along the island’s spine till you see the splendid views at Drake’s Seat.
Late Afternoon
End your day with a swim at Magens Bay Beach. The crowds are gone, the beach is quiet unless it’s the weekend, and the residents come out to enjoy the serenity.
