Effective Dec. 15, 2008, Coral World has new rates for entrance and attractions. The marine park on St. Thomas’s East End is a must visit for everyone coming to or living on St. Thomas!

Breathing underwater and walking across the ocean floor like it's your own octopus garden isn't hard - if you're Sea Trekkin' at Coral World.

One of Coral World's newest attraction is inside the shark pool. Visitors to the park can put on a snorkle, mask and weights for stability and stand in the middle of the shark pool for about 10 minutes.

In addition to beautiful beaches, magnificent mountain views and fabulous food, St. Thomas is known for shopping - especially for jewelry and liquor.

Take St. Thomas Skyride's Austrian-made tram car (just minutes from downtown) up to Paradise Point, an area with several shops, cafes and - yes - even a trained bird show and a wedding gazebo, 700 feet above Charlotte Amalie Harbor.

There are beautiful beaches, fabulous restaurants and great shopping on on St. Thomas, but there's also a tremendous amount of history. Forts, ruins, pirates - they're all a part of the island's past.

It must be the beautiful Caribbean weather and beaches that inspire the paintings and sculptures from dozens of local artists. Interesting downtown galleries include the Jonna White Gallery, Bernard K. Passman Gallery, Gallery St. Thomas, and several others. Out of the downtown area, check out Mango Tango near Tutu and the numerous sculpture, pottery, and painting galleries at Tillett Gardens. Read on for locations, highlights and more.

Downtown shopping and beautiful (and famous!) beaches aren't the only places to stop on St. Thomas. Don't miss the nightlife in Red Hook, the restaurants in Frenchtown, the conveniences of Tutu and so much more! Here's a quick guide to St. Thomas' most popular neighborhoods and hotspots.

There are opportunities to learn while having a lot of fun on the island. Here are a few of them, including Coral World, V.I. Ecotours, Atlantis Submarines, Paradise Point and Tillett Gardens.
