Sandy Point, St Croix Named No. 1 Beach for 2024 by Caribbean Journal

Sandy Point, St Croix Named No. 1 Beach for 2024 by Caribbean Journal

In the Caribbean Journal’s “The 25 Best Beaches in the Caribbean to Visit in 2024,” the publication named Sand Point as their number one pick!

“Our number one beach for 2024 is a stunner: Sandy Point, the spectacular stretch of sand on the far southwestern tip of St Croix, just south of Frederiksted. This is a wonder of the Caribbean, tucked away in a National Wildlife Refuge, where you’ll feel like you’ve discovered your own secret beach. It’s a reminder of the sometimes overwhelming natural beauty of the island of St Croix. “

Caribbean Journal Staff – January 3, 2024

For this year’s list, the journal cited said their objective this year was to focus on beaches that are not just beautiful, but reachable. They further explain that means almost every beach on their list can be driven to from a Caribbean airport so you won’t need to charter a boat, or “say a secret password and commandeer a dinghy” to reach them.

The list also includes beaches in our sister islands on USVI:

No. 15 Maho Beach, St John, US Virgin Islands at number

No. 16 Magens Bay, St Thomas, US Virgin Islands

For the full list of beaches, read the original article here.

An Holiday Event That Has Special Meaning to Us

An Holiday Event That Has Special Meaning to Us

Published on our December 2023 Newsletter

Question: “What holiday event on St. Croix has special meaning to you?

Christie’s Answer: Each year we attend as many local events as possible. They are so much fun, and a great way to bump into people we have not seen for a while. This year we met some friends, set up our chairs near the fort, and watched the Lighted Boat Parade. It had been a few years since we attended, and it was so much fun! We bought some street food, sat in our chairs, and enjoyed the motor and sail boats as they paraded past all decorated with lights! Many went all out in their decorations, mostly with a holiday theme. There was a flock of little sail boats, a Barbie boat, a jet ski car with a Grinch driving it, and many ablaze with lights! After they had circled the harbor a couple of times, we were entertained with a fabulous fireworks display! This is truly a family event. Children were running around in the grassy area by the fort, Santa was strolling about in his new USVI madras coat, and all of the lights in the streets downtown were lit. Love it!

Question: “The Crucian Holiday schedule has so many activities! What’s the best way to find them?

Chris’ Answer: Yes, there’s so much going on this time of year that it’s difficult to find all of the activities just to decide which ones you would like to attend! Sometimes I’m afraid I will miss something, so we check two calendars to try to discover them. There’s a calendar of events in the magazine, St. Croix This Week. Those magazines are found in racks all over the island, or can be seen on-line. Visit St. Croix has a calendar of events to check out. Another resource for everything happening here is Go To St. Croix. Between these resources, you will find so much to do this time of year!

Denis Sullivan returns to St. Croix

Denis Sullivan returns to St. Croix

Denis Sullivan, also known as “The Great Lakes Schooner” is back for its second year to St. Croix along with the World Ocean School! On St. Croix, we are used to seeing Roseway in the harbor annually. However, the 1925 Grand Banks schooner and National Historical Landmark is undergoing a multi-year restoration project. Last year, Roseway’s sister ship the Denis Sullivan embarked on voyages in Boston and St. Croix for the the World Ocean School. We are excited to see her back at the Christiansted Harbor! According to the St. Croix Source, the schooner will welcome many students from St. Croix public schools for experiential learning. Students will participate in multi-day programs to learn how to take care of a wooden tall ship and raise the sails, all while learning team-building skills and seeing academics come to life. Crew members on board Denis Sullivan and the deckhand educators, provide lessons while underway. Residents and tourists can also sail on the schooner around Christiansted Harbor and enjoy the beautiful views of St. Croix with family and friends while hoisting the sails or relaxing during the two-hour cruise around the harbor. All proceeds from sail tickets support World Ocean School’s educational programs. For more information, visit the World Ocean School website.
