St. Thomas Shopping

iStock International

Overview

Shoppers flock to St. Thomas for duty-free finds. While there are good deals on items like liquor, jewelry, and crystal, you might do better at your hometown discount store when it comes to cameras and electronics. The island's shopping areas can get crowded when cruise ships are in port.

With most of the stores around Main Street and the Waterfront Highway housed in plantation-era warehouses, shopping is an adventure. Ignore the vendors’ barkers and find your own way through everything from china to T-shirts.
