"Halloween"
Mysteries & Myths of the Caribbean
As the trade winds shift and the Caribbean sun dips a little earlier, October in St. Thomas takes on a new kind of glow... equal parts mystery, island magic, and moonlit fun. This month’s issue of St. Thomas Magazine dives deep into the legends, lore, and lively happenings that make fall in the Virgin Islands something truly special.
Island Creatures: Wild Histories
From green iguanas sunbathing along forest trails to donkeys braying on hillside roads, St. Thomas’s wildlife has stories that stretch across oceans and centuries. Discover the fascinating origins of our favorite local creatures and how they came to call the Virgin Islands home.
The Haunting of St. Thomas
It wouldn’t be October without a little fright! Explore haunted tales, ghost tours, and eerie island legends that blend folklore with history. From centuries-old pirate stories to mysterious shipwrecks, these are the Caribbean myths that linger long after the sun sets.
The Sea Remembers: Ghosts & Legends Beneath the Waves
The Caribbean Sea sparkles by day, but beneath the surface lie tales of sunken ships, pirate betrayals, and lost treasures. This haunting feature takes readers below the waves to uncover the legends that still ripple through island waters today.
Hike & Soak Beach Guide
If spooky stories aren’t your thing, balance the chills with some tropical thrills. Our “Hike & Soak” guide takes you through lush trails that end in refreshing beach dips like Magens Bay Nature Trail and Hull Bay’s hidden hillside paths.

Where to Stay & Beyond the Beach
Our curated “Where to Stay” guide showcases the best lodging across the island; from hidden northside villas to full-service southside resorts.
