Said to offer some of the best duty-free shopping in the Caribbean, St. Thomas in the United States Virgin Islands boasts of having the oldest duty-free shopping ports in the region, dating back as far as 1724. If you’re visiting the island from off a cruise ship, Havensight Mall is the place to make your first shopping stop - you’ll spot it as you get off the ship - it’s hard to miss. Next, you can take a trip downtown to visit the shops at Charlotte Amalie and walk along Main Street which is a hub of shopping activity. The islands of St. John and St. Croix also offer exciting shopping opportunities.
