Revel in the best weather the US Virgin Islands has to offer – all year long. A cooler period from December to March sees highs of 29°C (84°F), while the warmer period from May to October enjoys highs of around 31/32°C (88/90°F), softened by the cooling trade winds. The island’s consistently warm waters are ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and boating at any time of year.
The island’s crystal clear waters and exquisite swimming beach invite you to experience deepsea fishing, sailing, snorkeling, or scuba diving; a renowned dive site off the northwestern point features archways, tunnels, winding coral formations, and tropical fish of every color.
Groves of native tyre palms, the island’s namesake, as well as dry herbaceous plants, cacti, and wild orchids and bromeliads dot the island from coast to magnificent coast. Wild goats roam freely, sea birds nest on rocky shores, and the first roseate terns of the annual migration are commonly observed on Thatch Cay. Lizards, geckos, whistling frogs, and Puerto Rican racers find their homes among the foliage.
