Favorite Casual Restaurants
Daniel and I live here in the Virgin Islands and we get the chance to check out all the restaurants - our favorites change and we do eat at home a lot - we like to share our go-to places! This is our casual dining list!
Sitting outside right at the marina is perfect. Their pizzas are great but if you like a good salad, it's one of the best on the island! Don't forget the pretzel bites as an appetizer!

Sightseeing
The fort in Charlotte Amalie bears the name Fort Christian after Christian V of Denmark. It was built between 1672 and 1678.
The tall, meter-thick walls are built partly in stone and stand as a massive extension of the bedrock, supported by large buttresses built of brick, which was sailed over as ballast in the hulls of the ships. The fort also has walls built of the random rubble known locally as blue bit. The bricks needed were provided by 5-6 ships sailing with them as ballast. They were similar to Flensburg bricks, a smaller type widely used in Holland, Germany and Schleswig-Holstein. Local rain-forest timber like mahogany and the dark, heavy wood lignum vitae (‘wood of life’) was used for lintels above doors and windows, for shutters and for other elements of the building that needed wood.
Parking is next door to the fort - between the police station/courts and the fort. It's the perfect place to park to explore the historic fort and alleyways of downtown Charlotte Amalie. In addition, duty free shopping is also downtown!
