Shopping
Ballerina Jewelers has the most knowledgeable & courteous sales staff on Main St. Charlotte Amalie. Outstanding service. A very wide selection of diamonds and more. It's always my go-to jewelry store when shopping for fine jewelry. Ask for Danny -- tell him Sherri sent you for special treatment.

Local Color is a great place to buy T-shirts that are of a higher quality. They also carry Jams, other tropical clothing and sandals for men and women.

Fish Face is my go-to shop for batik, colorful, casual, and comfy clothing. It's off Main St. in downtown St. Thomas.

Essentials
It's close to the condo and reminds me of grocery stores in the states. Many aisles that are wide enough for 2 carts to pass one another.

Conveniently located in Red Hook. Moe's is smaller than The Food Center, so I only shop here when I'm in Red Hook. It has a neat & clean salad bar, high end meats, Boar's Head lunch meats, & organic veggies.

If you're looking for a place that caters to locals, this is it. Owned & operated by other Cowpet Bay West residents. Randy (owner/chef) is an excellent cook. His wife Sally brings the food & drinks to you along with a warm smile.
Mahi Reubens are my favorite.
It's more of a beach bar, than a cafe. May not be appropriate for young children at night.

Their by-line is "The Best Parking Lot Bar in St. Thomas." Great food and drinks. Go early if you're not the partying type. Otherwise, stay late for a great night.

XO Bistro
Mostly a bar, but there are some tables for good bar food.
Great Italian food in downtown Charlotte Amalie. Lots of art on the walls; reminds me of NY style Italian restaurants.

Beaches, Parks, & Nature
A quiet beach that's never too busy.
Fortunately, it is too small for a busload of cruise ship passengers.

Magens Bay is a very wide beach & the Caribbean Sea remains shallow further out than I first imagined. Great for jogging, swimming, sun bathing, picnics, etc. There are restrooms, a cafe, and great gift shop that sells swim suits in separates, which is terrific for women who need different sizes for the top and bottom of their swimsuit.

Great Bay
The Ritz Hotel is within walking distance from the condo.
Some say Coki Beach has the best snorkeling on St. Thomas. Coral World is located in Coki Bay as well.
