St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands -
USVI
You will find that St Croix, USVI offers everything you expect from a
Caribbean Island...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 25 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, U.S.V.I., 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 an experience unlike any other in the Caribbean.
Since Christopher Columbus first arrived at Salt River on St. Criox 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,
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 St. Croix,
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 to St. Croix can enjoy a vast array of indoor
and outdoor activities, from
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 and much more!
Annual events like
St. Croix's Mardi Croix are a
blast!
