Area Attractions
Spain, Great Britain, the Netherlands, France, the Knights of Malta, Denmark and the United States all played a role in its past and brought their influence to the native Arawak and Carib peoples. Experience the unique culture of St. Croix through its arts, crafts, music and more during a variety of festivals and cultural events throughout the year.
But these are only a few of the things you can enjoy on the island. St. Croix provides gorgeous beaches, world-class recreational activities, fine dining, casino, and golf. Although only 22.7 miles long and 8 miles at its widest point, the landscape of St. Croix is surprisingly diverse. Visiting just the two main towns of Saint Croix will give you a glimpse of the island’s incredible history—from regal 18th and 19th-century homes in Christiansted to a tropical rain forest in Frederiksted.
There’s a ton of things to see and do:
Christiansted Historic District
Sweet Bottom Dive Center
Enjoy scuba diving at the Virgin Island’s best shore dive site! Located at the Renaissance St. Croix Carambola Beach Resort & Spa, Sweet Bottom is the place for anyone looking to dive St. Croix! Divers and non-divers alike are treated to over 300 yards of azure Caribbean waterfront, with endless opportunity for diving, snorkeling, boogie boarding, and swimming.
Caribbean Sea Adventures
Caribbean Sea Adventures offers daily Buck Island snorkeling/ beach trips, scuba diving, private charters and sunset sails. Buck Island Reef National Monument is a must for every visitor whether you snorkel the underwater trail, dive or just enjoy the beach! Buck Island’s main beauty lies in the surrounding coral reef ecosystem and its unique underwater trail. Turtle beach, on the west side of the island, was rated one of the world’s most beautiful beaches by National Geographic. You can sign up for a full or half day charter on either a power or sail boat, any day of the week. We look forward to showing you the beauty of St. Croix.
