Water Island, USVI: A fantastic place to spend the day.

The fourth U.S. Virgin Island – with a footprint of less than 1 square mile and a population of less than 200 – is often overlooked. It’s easy to get to Water Island from St. Thomas, though — just a 10 minute ferry ride. Once you’re there, you can explore by golf cart, scout for cacti, catch a hammock nap at a beach bar. Don’t leave without trying the fish tacos up on the hill. Here are our tips for spending an amazing day on Water Island.
