Enjoy beautiful St. Croix!
St. Croix's history spans the rule of seven nations, each influencing the customs, character, language and architecture of the of the island. Even today, with modern conveniences, St.Croix retains the old world charm that has vanished on many other islands. The pace is slower, and everyone takes time to stop and smell the frangipani!
The island is 1700 miles south of New York, 1100 miles south east of Miami, near the eastern tip of the Caribbean island chain. On the same latitude as Acapulco and Hawaii, just below the Tropic of Cancer, it is eternal summer caressed by cooling tradewinds. The average temperature is in the mid-80s, and there's just enough rain to keep the ixora, hibiscus and bougainvillea in bloom. The island is 22.7 miles long, and at its widest only 8 miles, but in this stretch there are great varying landscapes.
The language is English, the currency is the U.S dollar. U.S. citizens do not need a passport, (although frequently airline counter agents will ask for one when you are departing the U.S., but is not needed). Just be sure to have a valid proof of citizenship with a photograph, which you will need to show when leaving St. Croix. as well as an original (raised seal) birth certificate. |
