    A nice video. I’m a mainland American. I got to go to the USVI on vacation for a few days. I stayed in St. Thomas. I even visited St. John on the ferry too. A beautiful place. I could see myself possibly retiring there in the future and it’s still in America too. 🇺🇸👍🏻😃

    St. Thomas is a really nice island. However it is the most developed and “westernized” island out of the 3 main islands that makes up the USVI. St. John’s has all the nature, views, and trails. St. Croix is the more laid back island, it has some mountain ranges but you get the real Caribbean vibe there.

      Mountain ranges on St. Croix? 🤔 It’s the flattest of the three main islands.

  • @fjtorrestv
    @fjtorrestv Год назад +27

    The same situation with the usurpation of the beaches occurs in Puerto Rico. The beaches are public, the developers do not respect the laws and regulations and the government corruptly grants permits in a corrupt manner. Developers close access and people have to walk miles to get to the beach. Hbday & keep the good work.

      @@davidlapla963that’s why they didn’t bother to help on the Islands with the hurricanes that pass through. They want the locals to move stateside/mainland and redevelop the existing neighborhoods, probably into newer luxury homes or condos for the wealthy Americans. What they did to Hawaii recently and the fires.

      Can you name specific properties that practice what you describe? Don’t get me wrong, I look out over Villa Montana (Shacks) which used to be cattle and mango trees, but i can still walk on/to the beach. Same with Copamarina in Guanica thats been there for decades. I can still walk on “their” beach, no problem. Do I wish my view was cattle, coconut, and mango trees? Absolutely. You are spot on about government corruption in PR. A glaring example is the round condo constructed directly on top of Playa Santa. That project reeks of corruption. As a wise radio personality once said…”follow the money.”

  • @giannishen

    That sign is so weird, it seems like it’s just a ploy by the locals to not let people ruin the beach!
    That beach is so beautiful and you proved that walking that secret passage is worth it!
    Without you, I wouldn’t have been able to see so many beautiful beaches. Thank you for your efforts in sharing everything about U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS!

    Appreciate all the good footage. You both do a rad time staying positive.
    I lived on Maui for five years and property owners would put up the no trespassing signs just to decrease liability if someone gets hurt. They didn’t mind locals hiking on the land, but tried to reduce their risk by allowing it.
    Speaking of which, do the kalalau on Kauai one day. Top three hike in the world and hit me up if you want some secrets on Maui.

    You missed out on St Croix the 3rd USVI. Sort of a cross between St. Thomas and St John in terms of development. Also much flatter and easier to drive around. Take a short ferry there. 2 main towns Christensted and Frederiksted
