St. Croix Overview

By Travel Expert: Candyce H. Stapen

Saint Croix has an alluring laid-back chic. Larger in square miles than Saint Thomas, but with fewer people, the island has good restaurants, a sprinkling of nice shops, plus some of the U.S. Virgin Islands' best diving and snorkeling. From rainforest to beach, to hills dotted with the ruins of wind mills—remnants of the once thriving Dutch sugar plantations—the island offers a diverse range of sights and activities.
