Dine on the Dock in the Mangroves | Virgin Islands Ecotours

We’re excited to share that there’s a new restaurant opening on St. Thomas.

Join us starting December 26th in the Mangrove Lagoon to welcome Bikinis Dockside Bar & Grill!

Our Bikinis on the Beach eatery on Honeymoon Beach, St. John has been a popular spot for many years, so we’re excited to bring the Bikinis fun over to St. Thomas.

Local chef, Sam Marrishow, has been on island for years between Coki Beach and the Ritz Carlton. He looks forward to cooking up creative, satisfying dishes with an island flair for breakfast, lunch, weekend brunch, and dinner.

Bikinis Dockside Bar & Grill will be open daily, serving up BBQ off the grill, artisan pizzas, burgers, and more. The best part? We’re featuring Happy Hour drink specials ALL DAY, EVERY DAY.

The dockside location in the mangroves is perfect for nature lovers. Not only will you be dining in the fresh island air, you’ll also be able to soak up the beauty of this vibrant ecosystem.

Our Favorite St. John Photo Ops

By Chrissann Nickel • March 27, 2025

St. John is an incredibly picturesque island. Those white sand beaches, the sparkling aquamarine water, and those dramatic green hillsides… both locals and visitors alike can’t resist pulling out their phones to snap one more picture, again and again. And don’t get us started on those Virgin Islands sunsets! Whether you’re a first time visitor to the island, or will be coming back soon on your 36th annual vacation, every trip to STJ is special—and every trip is worth commemorating with fresh photos. One of our newest experiences that we’re excited to offer is our Private Photoshoot Tour . On it, you’ll be matched with a talented professional photographer who will take you to some of St. John’s most stunning photo ops and take photos of you that are 1,000x better in framing, lighting, and style than those your well-meaning taxi driver took for you off the side of the road (he tried his best, but… we said what we said ;) ). In celebration of this new tour, we thought we would share some of our personal favorite photography spots on St. John. Here they are, in no particular order:
