Christiansted Guide

Explore Christiansted, St. Croix, the largest of two towns located on the island. Nestled around Christiansted Harbor, this quaint town is full of boutique hotels, shops, restaurants, water sports and more.

Stroll along the boardwalk a stop for a casual waterfront meal. Shop in the many eclectic boutiques and shops located in the town's historic buildings. If you are lucky enough to be on St. Croix at the right time of year, attend one of the four annual Jump Ups held downtown. Or, head over to nearby Gallows Bay for additional shopping, dining and basic day to day needs. Whether you are on St. Croix for a short time or a lifetime, Christiansted has something for everyone!
