Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Aqua shoes were nice to have on the kayak trip as we needed them to get to the snorkeling spot
Swim wear for the beach, a hat to protect you from the sun and a towel for when you get into the taxi to keep the seat dry
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Sunscreen is essential, the couple of spots I missed were as red as Rudolph's nose!
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: If you are planning on snorkeling from the beach, bring your own mask and fin unless you don't mind using a rental
Miscellaneous: We brought a bottle of water and some muffins from the ship, you shouldn't bring fruit from the ship to the island because of possible bugs and disease

Luggage and bags: SOFT bags - no hard side luggage - not even a bag with a frame. They are too hard to stow in the limited space aboard a boat.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: HAT. Deck shoes (flat, with good wet grip capabilities and white non-marking soles) Several swimsuits because you don't want to sit around in the wet suit - you will get a rash. Cover-up for swim suit. Raingear. Knit shirts or T-shirts. Shorts or khaki pants. Sundresses.
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: SUNSCREEN. Bug stuff. Any medications that you need. Normal shampoo, deod. soap, and toothbrushing stuff that you normally use. Extra prescription glasses.
Forget makeup and hair dryers.
Photo Equipment: At the time I didn't have a digital camera. I took two regular film cameras, and a dive camera, but snorkeling cameras are also useful. Plenty of film - it will be bright on the water so take appropriate speed film for your camera. Camera batteries. Also I brought mailers so I could mail the film home to be developed from St. Thomas and it wouldn't have to go through the airport screening again.
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Sunglasses. . Diving gear if you have your own - I brought dive skins, a dive light, a mask with diapters (because I wear bifocals), my PADI card, and dive record book. A small flashlight. A sweater and sweatshirt for cool evenings.
Miscellaneous: Material for a written log. Passport (useful checking in to the BVI, and now required for checking back into the US). Hand mirror, calculator, addresses and stamps for writing home.

Luggage and bags: Really!! Mosquitos are out even during the day, so my first day I got so many mosquitos bites that it was not funny at all!!! They eat you alive there!!! Anywhere and anytime you need the Mosquito Repellent!!
Also, I guess there is no need to say: Bring sunblock!!! The sun there is a killer!! It hurts!!
Miscellaneous: I would suggest you to bring your own Snorkel equipment. Some beaches don't have a rental place nearby.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: With having lived in the Caribbean and always wearing pants and a light sweater at night, I was surprised when I could go out at night in a skirt and top and be comfortable.
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: You've got K-Mart, it's okay if you forgot something.
