This is Magens Bay, St Thomas, US Virgin Islands. Often appearing on lists of the top beaches in the world, this small slice of Caribbean heaven is reputed to be the place where Sir Francis Drake anchored while waiting for ships to plunder.
Nowadays, it’s a popular destination for tourist and locals on the island. It’s also the place where Edward and Bella filmed some of their honeymoon scenes in Breaking Dawn Part 1.
The Caribbean, for all its beauty, has always struck me as being a place filled with stories, not all of them pleasant. From pirates to vampires, this curve of sand and sea is no exception, its rippling blue waves holding secrets to be told.

Thanks for coming on another Wednesday Wander with me – see you all next time!
My dad used to work in the British Virgin Islands and I was a very lucky teenager getting trips out there to see him! Only downside he was away a lot when I was growing up…
Ooh, you were a lucky teenager, getting to go there. Though, as you say it came with a downside. So I imagine you’ve been to Magens Bay? I do think the Caribbean is a fascinating place.
Enjoyable read
Thank you 🙂
Never been to the Virgin Islands, but would love to visit. A family from our church came from St. Thomas.
Oh, the Caribbean is so beautiful, though, as I say, there is darkness among all the beauty. Well worth a visit though, I’d like to go back there one day 🙂
I went to Montego Bay, Jamaica once with the family in 2004. That was my last time being to the Caribbean.
Oh, I haven’t been to Jamaica but have heard it’s beautiful – lucky you 😀
I would love to visit the Caribbean someday! It does feel like a place full of stories. How many times have you been there?
Only a couple of times, and it was many years ago. I’d like to go back again, definitely 🙂
