Blackbeard Castle in Charlotte Amalie, Saint Thomas, is a historic landmark offering panoramic views and a glimpse into pirate history. The site features a tower believed to have been used as a lookout by the infamous pirate Blackbeard. While generally accessible, the site involves some walking and stairs, which may pose challenges for those with mobility issues. A self-guided tour allows you to explore at your own pace, while guided tours provide more in-depth historical context. The cost is moderate, and a typical visit lasts about 1-2 hours. The Virgin Islands have a tropical climate, so conditions are generally favorable year-round, though hurricane season (June to November) may bring disruptions.
