Your Must-See For History

Set sail on a sunset cruise, hike nature trails leading to hidden historical sites or snorkel in secluded coves teeming with marine life — St. Croix invites you to dive right in. Stroll down cobblestone streets past pastel buildings and artisan shops in Christiansted, once the capital of the Danish West Indies. Or explore Frederiksted, which boasts a fort that once protected the island from pirates and rival nations. Take a bite out of St. Croix’s bold Caribbean flavors with international twists, best experienced at waterfront restaurants and beachside bars where the catch of the day often steals the spotlight. Wherever you wander, history surrounds you — step inside centuries-old forts, walk through preserved mill ruins and take in sweeping ocean views from Point Udall, the easternmost point of the United States.
