While October can be a little warm on St. Croix with temperatures still rising into the high-80’s, it also brings return of the cruise ships to the island. Halloween is celebrated island-wide with costume contests and special events at local establishments. But, the big event for St. Croix this month is the annual Coral Reef Swim. For those that prefer running to swimming, October also boasts the West Indies 5K run. The island can be a little slow in October, so relax and enjoy before the winter holidays are upon you!
