Tagged: , , , , ,

When it comes to lists of the best beach bars in St. Thomas or the US Virgin Islands, the beach bar at Magens Bay is rarely brought up. That’s just fine with its longtime customers. While others have rightfully garnered attention throughout the world, Magens Bay Beach Bar, Café and Boutique as it’s officially known keeps plugging along in a kind of obscurity.

If supporting families who live on the island is important to...

When it comes to Jeep tours (or any tours) of St. Thomas or St. John in the US Virgin Islands, Sunfari Adventures will always be our go to. After an amazing day trip with Micky, who owns Sunfari with his wife, it quickly became clear that a day spent cruising around the islands with Micky in his Jeep Wrangler really is the best day.

While the experience was definitely different than we have had in the past with masks and sanitizer replacing the tourists, we felt safe enough that thoughts of returning as soon as...
