Fodor's Expert Review Skyride to Paradise Point

Fly skyward in a seven-minute gondola ride to Paradise Point, an overlook with breathtaking views of Charlotte Amalie, the harbor, and the neighboring islands of St. Croix to the south and Vieques and Culebra, Puerto Rico, to the west. You'll find several shops, a bar (the specialty here is the Bushwacker, a creamy frozen cocktail), and a restaurant. Alternatively, you could skip the $25 gondola ride and take a taxi to the top for $7 per person from the Havensight Dock.
