In its own inimitable style, St. Croix combines all the best of the Virgin Islands. More laid back than St. Thomas, a few paces faster than St. John, the island called "the quiet virgin" also has the amenities and the beauty. While St. Croix has its share of shopping centers and businesses, less development has led to an atmosphere that's more town and country. The island is large enough to go for an afternoon drive without traveling the same road twice. It is blessed with abundant picturesque architecture from the sugar plantation days and much of that architecture is incorporated into the newer buildings. The rural surroundings offer natural settings that can be breathtaking.

The island has cosmopolitan Christiansted and the uniqueness of Frederiksted. St. Croix has the Island center for the Performing Arts for concerts, superb restaurants, and charming boutiques. The sparkling blue waters and white clean beaches make sailing, wind surfing, swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving and just enjoying the sunsets a Crucian pastime.

St. Croix is an island of sports-minded people and family-oriented outdoor types. There are three golf courses, one a world-class ranked course, numerous tennis courts, hiking or horseback riding in the rain forest. You can visit the Aquarium, Botanical Gardens, Whim museum, take an island tour or a nature walk. Visit Fort Christiansvaern or Fort Frederik or just take a walk around the water front docks and enjoy the entertainment. If your pleasure is just pure tropical relaxation you have chosen the right place. St. Croix is one of the top four most romantic places to vacation!
