Top 7 Nature & Parks in Christiansted, St. Croix

February 1, 2022 Vivienne Hutton

If you love the beach, but also want a little culture, you'll love Christiansted, one of St. Croix's two waterfront towns. Historic churches, charming courtyards, shaded walkways, stone arches, antique lampposts and rows of restored townhouses add to the city's appeal. Relax on a tranquil, white sand beach or float in the aquamarine water. Enjoy the many shops, boutiques, galleries, cafes and restaurants, or visit attractions like Fort Christianvaern, the Customs House and the Old Scale House.

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.

We came back. 2nd stay at the resort. Nice small beach with views of Green Cay and Buck Island. Snorkeling with lots and lots of fish. Kayaking or SUP is also an option. All the gear you need is available for rent, or free if you stay at the resort. A little piece of paradise

This was a beautiful place to visit! It was clean and you can do your own self-tours which made it fun and very enjoyable. You could take your time and really see everything. Walking through the garden was safe for all the visitors.

Protestant Cay

Reviewed By BrendaJ758

This is a fun little spot. You take the two minute ferry ride from the Christiansted boardwalk over to the Cay. Small white sand beach is a good swimming spot and we snorkeled a little too. The bar is a cash only bar with friendly bartenders and delicious affordable cocktails (try the green zing - $8). They also have good food (sandwiches, chips etc) a small shop where you can buy hats, sunscreen, and rent beach chairs and umbrellas. It was an afternoon well spent.
