"Must See" & "Must Do" in US Virgin Islands

In the U.S. Virgin Islands, the three main islands (St. Croix, St. John and St. Thomas) are among more than 50 islands and cays (most of them uninhabited) that make up the U.S. Virgin Islands. Situated about 1,200 mi/1,930 km southeast of Miami and 50 mi/80 km east of Puerto Rico, they are just a few miles/kilometers west of their cousins, the British Virgin Islands. St. Thomas and St. John are only 3 mi/5 km apart, bordered on the north by the Atlantic Ocean. St. Croix lies 40 mi/64 km to the south, surrounded by the Caribbean Sea.

Wherever you decide to venture out, here are some great places to visit that are well known as, "Must See" or "Must Do".  Relax. Enjoy. Have fun!
