Secret Harbour - St. Thomas

Tuesday, 4th September, 2007

What a beautiful and quaint location. This condominium is located on the beach of the small bay called Secret Harbour.

There are actually two places in this small resort - the one is up the hill and the other is directly on the beach. The beach is not overly large and is covered with palm trees to hide under in the intense heat of the Caribbean sun. The waters off the beach are almost always flat and calm due to the geography of this small bay. This allows for easy and relaxing swimming in the water. You can easily snorkel right off of the beach but you will need to swim out a fair distance to really see a great deal of fish. The reefs that protect this part of St. Thomas are very far out and that is where the prettiest fish are hanging out.

There is a small and romantic restaurant on the grounds with very friendly staff and good food. The prices are reasonable for the island and you will have a relaxing evening watching the sunset and listening to the waves. Occasionally, a local artist will entertain you with a soft melody - tip generously to your artist and your wait staff as the island depends on tourist dollars to survive.

St. Thomas is the stop for many cruise ships and therefore the island is abuzz with tourists during the day. The Secret Harbour can be a quiet escape in this small Virgin Island chain.
