The Caribbean
0
Beautiful sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters, the Caribbean is an ideal vacation spot for LGBT travelers. Some islands are less gay-friendly than others. The French, Dutch and US Islands are welcoming of gay and lesbian travelers, while Jamaica, Barbados and the Cayman Islands have a history of homophobia.
Known as one of the most gay-friendly Caribbean Islands, St. Croix is nearly 100 miles of endless white beaches.
St. Croix is by far the least touristy of the three major American islands. There’s great shopping, resorts and restaurants for visitors but if you like peace and quiet, there’s also plenty of opportunity.
The most populous and urban of the US Virgin Islands, St. Thomas is a one-stop shop for fun, beaches, relaxation, and island-inspired nightlife. Just minutes from St. John and about an hour from St. Croix, St. Thomas is home to two main settlements - Charlotte Amalie (also known as downtown) and Red Hook (also known as the East End).
