DISCOVER ST. CROIX

Known for its sandy beaches, thrilling snorkeling and diving sites, award-winning eateries, and fun-filled excursions, St. Croix is home to Divi Carina Bay Beach Resort & Casino and Oceans at Divi Carina Bay. It’s one of the few places in the world you can sample vodka distilled from breadfruit by day and kayak in bioluminescent bays at night. Check out our list of the top six most sensational experiences on the island and buckle up for an island adventure like no other.

Point Udall

Located on the east end of St. Croix, Point Udall is the easternmost point of the United States named in 1969 for Stewart Udall, the United States Secretary of the Interior under Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson. The site features the Millennium Monument, a large sundial built in 2000 overlooking the ocean and mountains.

Buck Island is a pristine national monument that can only be reached by a guided sailing tour, and it’s no surprise why this tiny island is so popular. It’s been voted one of the world’s most beautiful beaches by National Geographic readers. If you’re in the mood for adventure, you can hike to an overlook at the top of Buck Island or swim and snorkel the shores surrounding the island. Plus, there’s an underwater trail, one of only three in the United States, with an abundance of colorful marine life.

Cane Bay Wall

Take a deep dive into this unique, world-famous dive site. Located just 200 yards out from St. Croix’s north shore, you’ll discover the Cane Bay Wall drop-off, a famous dive site that goes from 40 feet deep to over 13,200 feet deep with sheer vertical drops and slow-sloping areas. Dive day or night to experience the full beauty of this one-of-a-kind dive destination.

St. George Village Botanical Garden

Immerse yourself in a tropical paradise at St. George Village Botanical Garden, a 16-acre botanical garden located in Frederiksted. Featuring a variety of colorful flowers, lush plants, tall trees, and historic buildings, this garden is ideal for reconnecting with nature.

Bioluminescent Bays

Watch the night come alive with the magical glow of bioluminescent creatures.
