St. Croix Condo Rental Caribbean - US Virgin Islands
Description
St. Croix is one of the U.S. Virgin Islands, which are considered an unincorporated U.S. territory. The beautiful island of St. Croix is the largest of the 3 inhabited US Virgins Islands (St. Thomas and St. John are the other two) and is 84 square miles. However, it only has a population of 55,000 residents. Christopher Columbus is said to have discovered the island in 1493, landing at Salt River on the north coast. The eastern part of the island is more arid than the western end of the island. You will even see
large cactus plants on the east end. The east end has many beautiful sunny beaches and is favored by the more wealthy of the island. The western half of St. Croix is quite different. It is verdant and lush, with beautiful green hills, a small rainforest, and wonderful white sandy beaches. Tourism is a growing and thriving part of life on St. Croix and tourists just love it!
The two main towns are Christiansted and Frederiksted. Christiansted is on the northeast part of the island and is filled with historic Danish architecture. Frederiksted has charming "gingerbread" Victorian architecture. Fort Frederik dates back to 1700 and is the site where Governor General Peter Van Scholten read the proclamation abolishing slavery in 1848. Today it houses a museum. Frederiksted has a colorful harbor that draws cruise ships and people from around the world.
