Water Island, St. Thomas, USVI - The Beach HD (2015)
Water Island was acquired by the USA in 1917 from Denmark but continued to be owned by a corporation until several decades later. Since 1996, it has formed part of the U.S. Virgin Islands, a United States territory located in the Caribbean Sea. The island is of volcanic origin and lies to the south of Saint Thomas in the Charlotte Amalie harbor. Ferry service runs regularly from Crown Bay, Saint Thomas to Phillips Landing, Water Island; the ferry ride is about 10 minutes.
At 491.5 acres (1.989 km2) in size, Water Island is the smallest of the main U.S. Virgin Islands. It is administratively a part (subdistrict) of the St. Thomas District. Water Island is a residential island, with a population of 182 (2010 census) and no significant commercial establishments. A number of homes on Water Island are available to accommodate visitors. The main attractions are beaches, including Honeymoon Beach, plantation ruins, Fort Segarra, an underground fort partially constructed by the U.S. during World War II, and scuba diving site Supermarket Reef, in Limestone Bay.
The eastmost third of the island is a gated community, Sprat Bay Estates. This includes Sprat Point, a 30 acre peninsula and nature preserve owned by the United States Department of the Interior, and private Sprat Bay Beach, located between Sprat Point and Carol Point. All beaches in the USVI are public when approached from the water.
Charlotte Amalie, located on St. Thomas, is the capital and largest city of the U.S. Virgin Islands, founded in 1666 as Taphus (meaning beer houses or beer halls). In 1691, the town was renamed to Amalienborg (in English Charlotte Amalie) after Charlotte Amalie of Hesse-Kassel (1650–1714), queen consort to King Christian V of Denmark. It contains a deep-water harbor that was once a haven for pirates and is now one of the busiest port of call for cruise ships in the Caribbean, with about 1.5 million cruise ship passengers landing there in 2004. Protected by Hassel Island, the harbor has docking and fueling facilities, machine shops, and shipyards and was a U.S. submarine base until 1966. The town has been inhabited for centuries. When Christopher Columbus came here in 1493, the area was inhabited by both Island Caribs and Taíno. It is located on the southern shore at the head of Saint Thomas Harbor. In 2010 the city had a population of 18,481, which makes it the largest city in the Virgin Islands Archipelago. Hundreds of ferries and yachts pass through town each week, and at times the population more than doubles.
The city is known for its Danish colonial architecture, building structure and history, and a dozen streets and places throughout the city have Danish names. Charlotte Amalie has buildings of historical importance including St. Thomas Synagogue, the second-oldest synagogue in the Western Hemisphere, and the oldest Lutheran church in the Western Hemisphere, the Frederick Lutheran Church. The town has a long history of pirates, especially stories of Bluebeard and Blackbeard (Edward Teach). In the 17th-century, the Danes built both Blackbeard's Castle and Bluebeard's Castle attributed to the pirates. Blackbeard's Castle is a U.S. National Historic Landmark. Another tourist attraction is Fort Christian, the oldest standing structure in the Virgin Islands Archipelago. A copy of the Liberty Bell is located in Emancipation Park, which is a tourist attraction.

Water Island Honeymoon Beach VLOG | Mar 9, 2019
In this video, me and my family visits Water Island Honeymoon Beach. It's been years since we visited this little Virgin Islands extension. Just off the coast of St. Thomas, Water Island is an excellent day trip away from St. Thomas. Water Island does not have taxis, public transportation, gas stations, hotels, shops or a main town. Residents and visitors depend on St. Thomas, located just a half-mile away, for groceries to mail service.
Labor Day Weekend on Water Island!!!
2 Great performers at Dinghys. Jake Bradley and Jon Gazi!!!!
Travel Vlog : Island Hopping to Water Island from St.Thomas, U.S.Virgin Islands
We continue our travel vlogs of our visit to the US Virgin Islands. We got the opportunity to visit Water Island which is a private island in the US Virgin Islands. One of main highlights on this trip was being able to catch the $1bus ride. To our pleasant surprise the actual ride to the beach on Water Island was free and we just needed to tip the driver.
Guys when you're traveling on a budget and you want to do the most catching a $1taxi that turns out to be free is like having ice cream on a very hot day. Also, we were unable to catch the $1 taxi in St.Thomas because it is a main form of public transportation used to take the residents to around. It is also sometimes privately hired to take tourists around.
So were very excited when we saw we was going to get a ride on the $1 taxi on Water Island because we just wanted to take a ride in this cool bus with no windows and doors. It is like a huge golf cart. Check out the video and tell us what you think. Leave your comments below and don't forget to subscribe, like and share with your friends and family.
