St. Thomas, whose webcams can be viewed online on this site, is one of the many Virgin Islands in the Caribbean that belongs to an unincorporated territory of the United States.
This is the main island of the archipelago, which is best suited for travel due to its high development and well-established infrastructure. A huge port, stunning landscapes, an abundance of active entertainment and a pleasant climate of this place will allow you to enjoy your vacation and get a lot of pleasant impressions.
In the distant XV century, St. Thomas was inhabited by the Siboney Indian tribes. Later, the Arawaks came to these lands, and then the Caribs conquered the territory. But after the Europeans landed on the island at the end of the same century, the Indians, who did not have immunity and medicines for diseases that the wanderers brought with them, soon died out.
For a long time, the territory was in disrepair, except for the pirates who liked to enter the bays of the Virgin Islands.
The first colonies appeared here only in the middle of the 17th century. These were immigrants from Holland, who, after another 100 years, were driven out of here by representatives of Denmark. At the beginning of the last century, all the Virgin Islands were bought by the US government for $25 million in gold. Since then, St. Thomas and the entire archipelago have become the property of the United States.
Today, St. Thomas is a popular resort in the Caribbean, where travelers come from all over the world. The best season to visit the island is winter and spring. But for those who are accustomed to outdoor activities (for example, diving enthusiasts), it is better to come here in the summer.
One of the most visited sites in St. Thomas is the Coral World Underwater Observatory. The complex includes aquariums with a total volume of over 300 thousand liters, which contain sharks, rays, exotic fish and, of course, corals. To observe the inhabitants of the underwater depths in their natural environment, a special underwater tower has been created.
The nature of St. Thomas is no less attractive on land. The island harbor is full of charm and peace. Magens Bay Beach is considered the best beach on the island, with its white sand and dense tropical thickets.
If there is no way to go to the Caribbean yet, St. Thomas webcams, which you can watch online on this site, will allow you to enjoy a virtual journey to distant shores.
