Top Things to do in St. Croix
Top 5 Nature & Wildlife Areas in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands
Isn’t it romantic? The Caribbean island of St. Croix is practically the backdrop of a Hollywood love story. White sand beaches and lush rainforests set the scene for tropical bliss. Take in the historic small town charm of Christiansted and Frederiksted, sip your way through a spirited tour of the Cruzan Rum Distillery or explore the ruins of a sugar plantation. And the diving…oh, the diving. Think shipwrecks, think vibrant ocean life, think endless underwater possibilities.

We have done several tours including the night bioluminescence tour with Virgin Kyack as well as rented kyacking and self toured. The service iand guides are top notch as are the Hobie kyacks. The pedal mirage Hobie is used on most of the tours so even the most novice kayakers can feel comfortable. The rates are quite reasonable starting at $40 for a 3-4 hour tandem self guided tour. This is always a highlight of our trips to St Croix.

Open 10-4 Sat and Sun only, and closed all summer for turtle nesting. We were there on Sunday afternoon and it was pretty crowded but the water is soooooo beautiful and the sand sooooo perfect! Go to the North beach area if you want the calmer surf. No shade and no services, so plan accordingly. Beautiful beach.

Great Beach. When we were there like others were saying only few other couples there so very deserted. Beautiful sand beach and sand bottom in water (no rocks). Can’t image snorkeling would be good so this is more of just a relax and chill beach. Large parking lot. Didn’t see bathrooms. There were some picnic tables. Some trees also for shade if needed. Take water and a lunch and enjoy PS - 1st favorite beach is turtle beach on buck island.
