Cas Cay – Mangrove Lagoon Wildlife Sanctuary & Marine Preserve Cas Cay, at the mouth of Jersey Bay just off the southeastern coast of St. Thomas, is part of the Mangrove Lagoon Wildlife Sanctuary and Marine Preserve. You’ll need to get there by boat, if you have access to one, or you could sign up for a tour with Virgin Islands Ecotours for a kayak trip to the cay. There are trails throughout the island that take you through a seaside dry forest and mangrove lagoon to the rocky point with its tide pools, blowhole and sheer cliffs. It’s also a great place to watch seabirds and see huge colonies of hermit crabs.
The Caneel Bay Resort is a cool option if you would like to combine a day at the beach with an upscale lunch or enjoy a cocktail or two in a comfortable setting. Visitors to Caneel Bay are welcome to enjoy the main beach, but are asked to leave the lounge chairs and other hotel facilities for Caneel Bay guests. In addition, visitors will have access to the gift shop, the public restrooms, can hike the Caneel Bay trails and stroll through the restored ruins of plantation times. Visitors can also take advantage of VI Ecotours the new Beach Hut on Honeymoon Bay where they can rent beach chairs, snorkel equipment and standup paddleboards.
Note: There is a $20.00 parking fee for vehicles entering Caneel Bay, which can be used towards purchases at the Caneel Bay restaurants or at the gift shop.
