The largest and most laid-back of the US Virgin Islands
St. Croix offers a slower pace, beautiful beaches, historic towns, and excellent snorkeling. It’s ideal for travelers who want authentic Caribbean life rather than heavy tourism.
The sun is very strong here year-round. Reef-safe sunscreen is required by law. Many visitors also appreciate a good wide-brim hat for extra protection during long beach days or exploring Christiansted and Frederiksted.
