Mountain Top is a lookout, bar and large duty-free gift shop on St. Peter Mountain on the north side of St. Thomas, which the business says has welcomed visitors for more than 50 years. From its observation deck high above Magens Bay you look out over Magens Bay, St. John and the British Virgin Islands, and the business says more than 15 islands and cays are visible on a clear day. The bar is known for its banana daiquiri, which the business traces to 1953. The shop sells clothing, jewelry, souvenirs and duty-free rum. The Department of Tourism includes Mountain Top in its one-day St. Thomas itinerary. The business lists hours of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., seven days a week, but its website was last updated in 2023, so call ahead before making a special trip.
