September temperatures in St. Thomas still get quite high and summer-like. Therefore, the beautiful beaches of Lindquist Beach, Sapphire Beach, Honeymoon Beach, Magens Bay and many more, are all frequented regularly even this late in the season.
Scuba diving is at its peak in the summer and in autumn because underwater visibility is extremely high. Some places such as Pillsbury Bay can be explored year round, though. Divers can explore deep caves and old shipwrecks. In addition, nighttime dives can provide unique and breathtaking aquatic scenes as well.
