Top 10 Things to do in the Virgin Islands


 For this article, I wanted to construct a list of the top 10 things to do in the Virgin Islands and I decided to include both the British and the US. This list ended up being a real challenge! But that is only because there are so many great activities on all of these wonderful islands. After I put much thought into it, here are the Top 10 things to do in the Virgin Islands.

Enjoy!

10. Bomba Shack: Tortola
The Bomba Shack may not look like much (constructed originally in 1976 out of drift wood, scrap metal and pretty much anything washed ashore on the beach), but over the years, this little bar has really made a name for itself. Known for its infamous Full Moon Parties and Midnight Tea, visitors from all over get a kick out of the wacky décor and wild times.

9. Magens Bay: St. Thomas
Everyone that has stepped foot on Magens Bay knows that this beach is absolutely stunning! That’s why it made number 9 on my list of things to do in the Virgin Islands. This iconic beach has been named one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, been the backdrop to movies like Twilights Breaking Dawn Part 1, and has a wonderful hiking trail that is an adventure’s dream.
