Beaches – U.S. Virgin Islands In Top Ten
Commissioner of Tourism Pamela C.
Richards is pleased to announce that the beaches of St.
John and St. Thomas were named two of the top-ten beaches in the United
States, according to a survey conducted by Yahoo! Travel and National Geographic
Traveler.
The
2003 study surveyed 2,200 Americans and asked which U.S. beach destinations
they believed to be the most beautiful. The destination beaches were judged
according to cleanliness, scenery, water temperature, climate and romantic
atmosphere. The survey results can be seen in the July issue of National
Geographic Traveler. In addition, Keith Bellows, Editor in Chief for National
Geographic Traveler, recently discussed the outcome of the survey during
an interview that appeared on several FOX affiliates.
“Our
white-sand beaches are just one part of the natural beauty available for
visitors to enjoy in the USVI,” Commissioner Richards said. “Being named
to National Geographic Traveler and Yahoo! Travel’s Top-Ten United States
Beaches is an honor, and we hope that this tribute will entice more visitors
to discover the beauty and tranquility of America’s Caribbean.”
The
United States Virgin Islands offers beautiful beaches for all travelers.
Two-thirds of St. John is reserved as a national park, and its secluded
beaches are surrounded by unsurpassed natural beauty - perfect for spending
a quiet day relaxing on the sand. The island’s splendor is also perfect
for those looking for a more active vacation. St. John’s coral reefs are
underwater wonders that are best viewed snorkeling or scuba diving.
St.
Thomas combines stunning natural beauty with cosmopolitan flair. The white
sand beaches and bright turquoise water invite visitors to enjoy snorkeling,
sailing, fishing or any of the many outdoor activities St. Thomas has to
offer. One of the island’s most famous beaches, heart-shaped Magens Bay,
provides its guests with a stunning mountainous backdrop.
