The Estate Brewers Bay, located near the University of the Virgin Islands and John Brewers Bay Beach about 2 miles (3.2 km) west of Charlotte Amalie on Saint Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, is a historic sugar plantation which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.

Surviving on the site, at least as of 1977, are the ruins of a sugar factory, later adapted as a residence, and of an animal-powered mill. [2]

The first records of ownership are in 1855; it appeared on a map in 1856. [2]
