ACTIVITIES

• BEACHES- The villa has access to a multitude of activities just minutes away and many of which are free! Beach access on St. Croix is universal, meaning that there are no private beaches; if you see a spot you like, feel free to lounge about and get in the waves! The wonderful thing about St Croix is the many different flavors of beach available. Whether you're in the mood for a deserted palm shaded cove or you like to rent a beach chair and umbrella next to the Tiki bar and watch all the beach action ,it's only minutes away from the villa. We love em both.

Availability

• Kayaking , hiking , biking,snorkeling or just lounging about in nature. St Croix has it all. You can do your morning run/walk in Cramer park,which will make you think of the rocky California coast. We hold a half Iron Man qualifying competition once a year on St Croix roads and waters where runners try to conquer the “Beast”.There are guided kayaking tours through the National Historic Park at Salt River. Don't miss the Moonlight tour.

• NATURE/ECOLOGY- One of the most beautiful nature trails you'll ever see is here. Tidal pools are found in a remote corner of the north shore. There is a rain forest ecology with jungle plants and fauna here. St Croix's favorite wild animal is the mongoose which can be seen in the parks and natural areas.However it wouldn't be a good idea to pet these furry little critters , because they are wild.

Amenities

• HISTORY- There are many historical sites located all over the island. The old sugar mills spotting the landscape are a good example of St Croix's plantation past, when it was a colony of Denmark. Wonderful old ruins such as those at the St Georges botanical gardens are open to the public. Downtown Christiansted has many old churches and buildings that look today much as they did 200 years ago.
