Things to do in the US Virgin Islands: Travel guide

Looking for things to do while you're in the Virgin Islands? Well look no more. Here is a travel guide of where to stay, what to eat, and what to do during your vacation to St. Croix U.S.V.I.

Where to stay

Tamarind Reef Resort is a private resort that offers each guest with oceanside view rooms and tons of amenities. Each room has a patio or balcony that leads straight to the beach. One of my favorite things about Tamarind Reef is that they provided us with complimentary kayaking and snorkeling gear for us to use right at the beach. Its super convenient because all the water activities that you want to partake in can all be done from the comfort of your resort!

Where to eat

If you're looking for some local food to try I definitely recommend the places below.

  • La Reine Chicken Shack

  • Singh's

  • Junie's Bar and Grill

  • Deep End Bar and Restaurant​


If you're looking for a place that can give you an amazing dining experience check out the places below.

  • The Buccaneer Hotel Restaurant sits right on top of the beach and has both a variety of island inspired foods to choose from.

  • The Palms at Pelican Cove also sits right on top of the beach and has a pool next to the restaurant that is free for guests to use. The Palms at Pelican Cove has daily events at their restaurant like live music and bingo night. Each day is a new event that will enhance your dining experience.

What to do

St. Croix has 23 beautiful beaches to relax and play on. Some of my personal favorites are below.

  • Buck Island Turtle Beach (Rated one of the most beautiful beaches in the world)

  • Rainbow Beach

  • Davis Bay

  • Hay Penny Beach

    Here are some other activities that you can add to your trip!


    Take a walk and explore Christiansted boardwalk. There are a bunch of restaurants and souvenir shops on Christiansted boardwalk. You can shop, eat, and enjoy the scenery of Christiansted's harbor.

    Take a boat to Hotel and the Cay. Hotel and the Cay is a small island right off the shore of Christiansted's harbor. There's a hotel and mini beach right on the island! You can spend the day eating and drinking at the hotel's outside bbq and bar. 

    Take a hiking trip up to Point Udall. Point Udall is located at the east end of St. Croix and is the most easternmost point of the entire island. 

    Take a day trip to Buck Island. I recommend Big Beard's Adventure Tour. Big Beard's Adventure Tour provides half or full day adventures to Buck Island and provides snorkeling tours to the underwater marine.
