walk to town?

[eyegirl]

When getting off the ship, is there a town with shopping to walk around? I haven't been there for years but seem to recall alot of shops within walking distance...is this correct?

thank you

The number of shops has declined considerably over the years both at the cruise ship docks and in town, but there are a few that are worth a visit depending on what you like to shop for.

 

For typical souvenirs town has a few stores with a good selection: Mountain Top, Vendors Plaza, Piranha Joe, and I Heart St Thomas. Havensight dock has a few, too: Captain's Corner, Caribana, Majestic, Ocean Surfari, and at least 1 more. Crown Bay has the vendors at the little kiosks and maybe one or two others.

 

If you'd like to look for other types of items you would need to be specific so someone can tell you where to look. 

 

I listed other things in town not too long ago in a separate thread so you might want to look for it.

Depends on which port  you dock at .  There's shopping at both but walking to town is is about  1.5 miles from Crown Bay and not that scenic.  A little shorter from Havensight with but there are views along the water front.

There are two docks.  One of the docks is more industrial with no  shopping. Only a bit of  shopping inside the port. However you  can take a taxi  for $5 into the shopping part of town.  To walk there is not scenic, however  from the other dock the walk is  by the waterfront and scenic. You can see view of the cruise ships  docked in the harbour as well.

We walked back and forth from Havensight to Downtown a few weeks back. 

 

Easy, scenic and fun walk......take shortcuts thru the marina with all the rich folks yachts.
