St. Croix is in the beautiful Caribbean, in the United States Virgin Islands. All in all, there are about fifty islands; some big, some not so big, some merely rocks jutting out of the clear blue sea.

The three principal islands are St. Croix, St. John and St. Thomas. St. Croix is the largest, and lies entirely in the Caribbean sea. St. John and St. Thomas are next to each other thirty-five miles away, between the Atlantic and the Caribbean.

St. Croix is approximately 1500 miles south/southeast of New York City and 1100 miles east/southeast of Miami. The eastern tip of St. Croix is the easternmost Atlantic point of the United States.

The Virgin Islands date back to Columbus’ second voyage in 1493. Because of their incredible, unspoiled beauty, he called them "The Virgins," with reference to the legend of St. Ursula and her beautiful 11,000 Virgins.

The weather is always comfortable, making St. Croix an ideal destination for a vacation the year round. Winter: the islands are far enough south to be assured of warm weather—an average mean temperature in the winter of 77⁰F (25⁰C). Summer: there is a steadiness of the trade winds, blowing almost without exception from an easterly direction— and an average mean temperature of 82⁰F (27⁰C).

Almost 2 million visitors come each year to the Virgin Islands, the perfect place for a vacation. There is a wide range of accommodations, excellent sports, a selection of other things to do, and a reputation for the best shopping in the Caribbean. And the people are among the friendliest in this part of the world.
