Which one is better for warm beaches?

Puerto Rico or USVI?

I hear there's a small, very nice island southeast of St. Thomas

Is it St. John?

no, I was referring to Little St. James, which was Epstein's island

but seriously, Magen's Bay Beach on St. Thomas is very nice, especially if you're there between cruise ship arrivals, never been to Puerto Rico or any of the other Virgin Islands

>St. John
I worked across the USVI. St. John has 1% beaches. Incredible.

Puerto Rico has sexier prostitutes than USVI

I’ve only been to St. Croix, briefly, when a Puerto Rican friend with a small plane flew me over, I so I can’t comment on USVI beaches with any expertise. But the two or three Crucian beaches I visited were beautiful.

That said, Puerto Rico, which I know somewhat better, almost certainly offers a larger number of beaches with a greater diversity of terrain. My single-favorite Caribbean beach destinations are the Puerto Rican off-islands of Culebra and especially Vieques, which has more rocky than white-sandy beaches (although a few of their coastal stretches are indeed white sand), but has the benefit of a lot of coastlines that are all but deserted. Also some good snorkeling. It’s a sleepy, slightly scruffy rural nowheresville with minimal tourist/resort facilities, but VQS is IMO the single best Caribbean island. Culebra is objectively prettier by most standards (most mainland Puerto Ricans prefer it) and a little less rustic, but it’s more noticeably dominated by tourism.

Either PR or USVI will offer abundant turquoise water warm enough to enjoy swimming in.

USVI has a few small incredibly scenic spots but the place is small and very black... USVI has one of the world's highest crime rates. Yes really. That's not to say PR isn't sketchy but it's much less aftican. You should go to the DR instead.
