St.John, USVI

The smallest of the three USVI's, this has been called an uncommercialized paradise with good reason. This is no accident at it is intentionally preserved and celebrated as a natural, national treasure.

Within walking distance of the ferry dock, you'll find shops as well as art galleries with local pieces for purchase. This range of choice is just broad enough to accommodate all types of visitors, but it is fairly limited in scope compared to typically developed tourist spots, which is just perfect for an island with no high rises, no cruise ship docks, and no airports, ideal to visit by yacht charter

Activities
Cruz Bay is home of the Mongoose Junction shopping center and is a good way to acclimate yourself to the quieter vibe of the island if you've just left bustling St. Thomas. You could always check in with the tourist office near the Battery, a fort from 1735, in order to get maps or advice. If you've come to hike, you'll want directions to the Annaberg Trail. If you've come to meet up with fellow boaters, then ask for Coral Bay, a yachtie hang-out with restaurants and bars. Assuming you want to get "the real" feel of the island go to the Park Visitor Center to see wildlife displays and a video presentation on island culture. Wherever you're headed, your choice of transportation here includes buses and taxis as well as cars and jeeps for hire.

Protected island

Two-thirds of the island is a National Park! The Park has hills, valleys, and beaches. Laurance Rockefeller sailed around it in 1956 and admired it so much that he established a resort and donated 9500 acres to the government for a protected park. He would be pleased to know that his idea is very much alive today.

There are petroglyphs from the Taino people on Reef Bay hiking trail and 'submerged lands' of underwater coral gardens on display for visitors. There are introduced species everywhere because land was clear-cut for sugar cane production when colonized. The temperate year-round climate makes exploration easy. With fewer people around, you can really soak up the natural goodness the park has to offer and experience a little of what it is like to discover something that is still near perfect.

St. Croix, USVI

This is the biggest of the USVI's, has a number of attractive qualities for both the casual cruiser and the hardened adventurer. More tranquil than St. Thomas but also more populated than St. John. The USVI's support an array of landscapes and activities, and this is no exception with its Danish ports, eco-tourism, and beautiful beaches on offer all year round.

Christiansted

The old, Danish port of Christiansted is one of two towns on the island. Christiansted gives witness to urban colonial development at its most colorful! The Danish way of life has been reinterpreted through Caribbean eyes here, and the island still bears the mark of European influence in terms of historic culture, naval establishment, international trade, and architecture.

Christiansted earned the National Historic Site label because of its places of interest. Fort Christiansvaern is the US Parks Service's fortress in the Virgin's and currently serves as a military museum. The Steeple Building now exhibits the island history and culture after having been a bakery, a hospital, and a school!

Beaches

The beaches on are a mainstay of island living, a reminder of how wonderful life is when experienced on the edge of crystal clear water. The east end (that nearest Christiansted) is home to Cramer's Park beach, which is where one goes for a weekend party-like atmosphere. Also at the east end, you'll find Tamarind Beach and Shoys Beach; bring a snorkel to Tamarind, and be prepared to wind through sea grape trees before emerging onto Shoys.

Sandy Point, the longest white sand beach, is at the west end and is a protected wildlife refuge. Cane Bay on the north shore is very popular and a great place to bring your cooler so you can stay all day. Turtle Beach on the aforementioned Buck Island is a real get-away since you must go by boat to this uninhabited peak-of-an-island destination.
