Crown Bay has a newer facility and is used at busy times. When more than six ships call in one day, some ships anchor and tender passengers into Charlotte Amalie. Check your ship's notice for the berth."],["Watch-outs","Taxis on St Thomas run on a fixed zone fare system, and the rates are regulated. Confirm the price with the driver before you set off. Traffic on the hills is slow, and the roads are steep and narrow. Keep an eye on the return time, as the ship's departure time is firm."],["Havensight and Charlotte Amalie","Havensight is a small downtown beside the dock, with more than fifty shops, many of them outposts of well-known boutiques. Charlotte Amalie, the capital, is a short taxi ride away.

Sapphire Beach and Coki Beach are popular for snorkelling. St John, the smaller island next door, is reached by ferry from Red Hook, and it is largely national park."],["Food & shopping","Island food includes conch fritters, roti and fresh fish. Havensight and the waterfront are the easiest places to eat. Duty-free shopping applies to some goods, so check the rules for bringing items home."],["Money & connectivity","The currency is the US dollar. Cards are accepted in most places, and ATMs are common in the town."]],"access":"Havensight is flat and step-free. Charlotte Amalie's streets are steep and cobbled in places. The Skyride has an accessible station at the bottom, but the top is a rough walk. Beaches vary, and some have steps or sand paths.
