In case you didn’t know, the US Virgin Islands are just a 2-hour flight from Florida and have everything you need for an unforgettable beach vacation.

And the best part is that you can always enjoy hot weather on the islands.

In fact, the islands have no real “off-season” and the average temperature during the winter months is 84 degrees Fahrenheit or 29 degrees Celsius.

Dubbed “America’s Paradise,” the US Virgin Islands consist of St. Croix, St. Thomas, and St. John in the Caribbean.

Whether you’re on a girls trip, a family vacation, or traveling alone, there’s plenty to do on the three islands.

For those with a penchant for all things luxurious, head to St. Thomas to shop at Main Street’s high-end stores.

Nature and animal lovers will want to check out St. John’s 7,000 acres of parkland.

Meanwhile, history buffs will surely appreciate St. Croix’s colonial-era architecture and preserved historic sites.

Of course, all three islands are the perfect destinations for snorkeling, sailing, jet skiing or sunbathing on their pristine beaches.

If you want to experience all three islands, the ferries make it easy and cheap to hop between destinations.

You can visit the US Virgin Islands without breaking the bank by planning your trip in April or May, when hotel rates are lower.
