Travellers come from all over the world to enjoy the pristine island of St. Croix, famous for its white-sand beaches, rich marine life, historic charm and countless things to do.
Discover a tranquil hideaway in the U.S. Virgin Islands at Tamarind Reef Resort, Spa & Marina. Tucked away amid lush tropical lawns and swaying palm trees on the island of St. Croix, our oceanfront property has everything you need to relax and unwind.
If you like hiking, you won’t want to miss the Carambola Tide Pools. These lovely pools are located at the end of a beautiful two-mile trail, which winds through lush rainforest and ends at a black sand beach. Be sure to wear good walking shoes and bring plenty of water. These pristine pools are well worth the hike to get there.
Featuring a three-mile strip of white sand and turquoise water, this wildlife refuge is a must-see in St. Croix. Snorkelers commonly spot sea turtles and rays here, while beachgoers enjoy the sparsely populated beach. Please note that it’s forbidden to stake anything in the sand (including umbrellas), so remember to bring plenty of sunscreen.
Over 1,500 botanical species await you at the St. George Village Botanical Gardens, located on the site of a 19th century sugarcane plantation. Immerse yourself in a diverse array of flora, from succulents to orchids. Don’t miss the fully restored blacksmith’s shop and plantation supervisor’s house.
This unique uninhabited island is a protected National Park surrounded by coral reefs. Be sure to save plenty of time for snorkeling, and don’t leave without lounging on Turtle Beach – voted one of the world’s most beautiful beaches by National Geographic.
Whether you want to bet on a horse or just cheer for the prettiest pony, you can count on being swept up in the excitement at the Randall ‘Doc’ James Racetrack.
