St. Croix

The largest of the U.S. Virgin Islands is St. Croix located

40 miles south of St. Thomas. Plantation ruins, reminiscent

of the days when St. Croix was a great producer of sugar, dot

the island. St. Croix has contrasting beauty, its not as

hilly as its neighbors in St John or St. Thomas.

Its northwest is covered by a lush rain forest, its

drier East End is spotted with cactus. The restored danish

port of Christiansted and the more Victorian-looking

Fredericksted are its main towns; Buck Island off the island's north-east shore, attracts many day visitors.

Unlike the bustling island-city of St. Thomas, St. Croix

lives at a slower pace and with a diverse economy, mixing tourism with light and heavy industry on rolling land that was once

covered with sugarcane fields.

With the influx of jobs, the city has grown dramatically

since the 1960s. Tourism began and boomed in the 1960s,

bringing visitors as well
