Water Island offers a secluded alternative to St. Thomas

Water Island offers a secluded alternative to the crowded tourist destinations in St. Thomas within the U.S. Virgin Islands. As the smallest of the four U.S. Virgin Islands, it provides a quieter experience compared to popular spots like Magens Bay Beach.

Travelers can reach Water Island via a ten-minute ferry from the Crown Bay Marina near the St. Thomas cruise terminal. The round-trip ferry fare is $20, payable in cash, and provides views of the Caribbean coastline and sailboats during the short transit.
