Sports & Recreation

Land Activities: Golf is extremely popular on St. Croix. The Buccaneer Resort's Bob Joyce-designed par-70 course offers magnificent panoramic vistas of Christiansted harbor to the west, St. Thomas and St. John to the north, and Buck Island National Park to the east. The award-winning Carambola Golf Club course, designed by Robert Trent Jones, is the site of the annual LPGA Golf Tournament and winner of the Golf magazine gold medal. The Reef Golf Course on Teague Bay offers a nine-hole course.

Adventure seekers can explore St. Croix's beautiful west end on horseback or by bike. Guided tours are available for all experience levels. Hikers will find several indigenous and migratory species in the forest and in the Sandy Point Wildlife Refuge.

Water Activities: St. Croix offers some of the best snorkeling in the world. Buck Island, famous for its striking natural beauty and underwater snorkeling trails, is one of only two underwater National Monuments in the United States. The north shore wall of the island, the Salt River Canyon, and Cane Bay offer world-class scuba diving. Kayakers can see snowy egrets, great barracudas, spotted eagle rays, and hundreds of other species in Salt River Bay National Park and Ecological Preserve.
