  • Duty-free prices for diamonds and other gems are worth the trip to St. Thomas.  Each US Citizen is allowed $1200 of duty free goods, and 5 bottles of liquor, plus one extra if it is “local” such as Cruzan Rum.
  • Artistic, Grand, Magnum, and Imperial Jewelers are some of our favorite stores for quality jewelry and excellent values (Tell them the 'Brownings' referred you for the best prices).
  • The Green House Restaurant, located on the waterfront, is a great place for lunch and happy hour (4:30-7:00 p.m.) while in town.

Snorkel equipment, beach chair rentals, and snack bar are available.
