AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoBeach Rankings: Trunk Bay on St. John was named the No. 1 beach in the world in Beach.com’s 2026 Global Beach Index, with St. Croix’s Sandy Point National Wildlife Refuge ranking No. 7 and St. Thomas’ Magens Bay No. 17—another strong push for USVI beach travel. Wildlife & Access: Sandy Point on St. Croix reopens for the season Sept. 5 with limited public hours (Saturdays and Sundays, 10 a.m.–4 p.m.), timed around leatherback nesting and hatchings. Luxury Lodging Spotlight: A new rate check highlights The Ritz-Carlton, St. Thomas as a “Caribbean Ritz-Carlton” that’s still under-discussed, with late-summer prices around $644 per night and standout views, pool, and catamaran access. Local Honors: Former USVI Gov. Kenneth Mapp received the Virgin Islands Medal of Honor, and Route 75 was designated the “Gov. Kenneth E. Mapp Highway.” Weather Watch: Tropical Storm Dolly weakened into a tropical wave, but its remnants could bring heavy rain to the Leeward Islands and then the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. Cruise Planning: Norwegian Cruise Line opened Summer 2028 bookings, including Caribbean sailings from ports like Miami.
