September on St. Croix

September on St. Croix can be very warm, with temperatures continuing into the high-80’s, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t fun to be had on the island this month! What better place to spend Labor Day weekend then limin’ on the beach or floating in the warm tropical waters? There are several guided hikes this time of year to some off the beaten path places. Or, you can participate in one of the three annual fitness events held in September on St. Croix: the Labor Day 5K Race, the Virgin Islands 10K Race, or the Wall 2 Wall Sprint Triathlon. Whether you prefer to be active, or take it easy, there’s something for everyone on St. Croix.
