St Croix

St Croix, the largest of the US Virgin Islands, is a typical Caribbean paradise with its exquisite white sandy beaches and the sparkling, crystal clear waters of the Caribbean Sea. The beaches provide some of the best conditions for water activities including diving, snorkelling, and windsurfing. Yet there is more to the island than its gorgeous beaches. Wander around the island and you will find interesting remnants of its history and more so in its fifty four sugar mills, once the main industry on the island. Tourism has now gradually taken over and to cater to its visitors, St Croix offers a host of perfect beaches, idyllic golf courses, find dining experiences, duty free shopping and a wide array of both indoor and outdoor activities. St Croix is a popular wedding destination with beautiful Caribbean vacation villas perfect for intimate ceremonies.
