St. Croix, USVI - US Virgin Islands
Information
St Croix, USVI
offers everything you would expect from a Caribbean Island vacation...lush green
hills, warm aquamarine water, beautiful beaches, fabulous weather, great dining
and duty free
 shopping,
incredible SCUBA diving, three golf courses, and a friendly Caribbean culture
with a relaxed island experience...all without the crowds of many other
Caribbean destinations. It is easy to travel here from the U.S. mainland...U.S.
citizens don't even need a passport...and you will be supporting a U.S.
territory while you enjoy your Caribbean vacation! Saint Croix is only a 30
minute flight from the international airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico and can
also be reached by direct flights from the states on American Airlines (through
Miami) and US Air (through Charlotte) and Delta (through Atlanta).
St.Croix, the largest of
the U.S. Virgin Islands, lies like an emerald in the turquoise waters of the
Caribbean Sea. It's rich culture, friendly people and colorful history, along
with its beautiful
beaches and world-class
recreational activities, offer a vacation experience unlike any other in the
Caribbean. Since Christopher Columbus first arrived at Salt River more than
500 years ago, Sugar and rum shaped the island's life and land. Fifty-four sugar
mills, each with imposing windmill towers and factory chimneys, still remain
today,
echoing the islands past. Several stately plantation homes still exist to this
day.
Located on the west end of the island,
Estate Whim Plantation is a fine
example of
these "great houses." With acres of rolling green hills, St. Croix's
plantation estates also bore crops of okra, cabbage, corn, and other
vegetables still prominent in Caribbean cuisine. As the sugar industry
declined, tourism became the most important industry on the island, it
remains that way today.
Christiansted and
Frederiksted, the two main towns of the island,
flourished as commercial ports during the eighteenth and nineteenth
century. The architecture in these two towns reflects the seven
flags...Spanish, Dutch, British, French, Knights of Malta, Danish, and
American...that have flown over the island, the Dutch influence being the
greatest. Today, visitors can enjoy
a vast array of indoor
and outdoor activities, from
sightseeing,
fine dining/restaurants,
duty free shopping
and
a
casino, to
golf,
island tours,
places to see,
botanical gardens,
scuba diving and snorkeling
along with horseback riding,
Kayaking, parasailing and much more!
Annual events like
Mardi Croix are a
blast!
