Magens Bay Preserve Adventures

Magens Bay Preserve is a tropical haven located on the north side of St. Thomas, one of the U.S. Virgin Islands. Known for its iconic white sand beach and tranquil blue waters, Magens Bay is a favorite destination for both locals and tourists. The Preserve extends beyond the beach into 20 acres of protected tropical rainforest habitats, which house diverse flora and fauna typical of the Caribbean. It is home to wildlife such as the Virgin Islands tree boa and various tropical birds, providing rich opportunities for wildlife viewing. Magens Bay has a storied history as it was once a plantation estate in the 18th century before its preservation as a natural area. The area is particularly appealing for recreational activities such as hiking, picnicking, and swimming. Prominent trails meander through its lush landscapes offering breathtaking views of the bay and surrounding islands. Visitors are drawn by the serene beauty and the ecological significance of the Preserve.
