Top Things to do in St. Croix
What to do and see in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands: The Best Things to do Good for Big Groups
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.

2. Isaac Bay

You need a four-wheel-drive vehicle to get here, but it's well worth the trip to this scenic and secluded beach, perfect for swimming, and a barrier reef for snorkeling.
Reviewed By OregonLawyer
The hike to Isaac's is really easy--only 0.5 miles and pretty flat. The beach is nice. But go another mile or so to Jack's and I thought the beach was even better, and the bay better protected for better snorkeling. If the sea is calm you won't need fins, but if it's rough at all don't go out very far without fins. The hike from Isaac's to Jack's is moderate with a big hill, but I'd say "moderately easy" for anyone in decent physical condition. I'll repeat what other's have posted: park up by Pt Udall, take EVERYTHING out of your car, and leave it unlocked. We hiked into Jack's twice and didn't have any trouble at all. Bring MORE WATER than you think you will need because this hike is a scorcher--this is desert hiking--imagine Phoenix with a beautiful view of the ocean. Both beaches are beautiful; there were a few more people on Isaac's just because it's a shorter hike, but both days that we spent at Jack's we only saw a few other people. Can't wait to go back to do this hike again in a couple months!

We had an awesome time with Equus Rides and Cowboy Steve!! My 12 year old daughter Olivia and I rode 2 very experienced, gentle, easy to ride horses, Dublin and Genji, his best friend who absolutely loves to swim in the water!!! Cowboy Steve is extremely knowledgeable and entertaining as he describes the island history and interesting facts about the local flora and fauna. The horses managed the coral on the beach and in the water very well with no problem. What an awesome experience, I cannot even describe the feeling of riding a horse as it swims through the water!!!! This is something I’ve wanted to do my entire life and I’m so happy I was able to include my daughter. It was an absolute highlight of our trip and I can’t thank you enough for the experience!!!! ❤️
