16 Fun Things to See & Do in the Virgin Islands in 2025

"A tiny, mostly deserted island once known for its salt ponds, Salt Island retains a salt-harvesting tradition dating back to Queen Victoria — a family still owns the island and historically sent a pound of salt in tribute — only a handful of people live there now, you can snorkel if you bring gear, visit the deserted town near the salt pools by dinghy, and there are no ferries so you’ll need your own boat." - Matthew Kepnes
