Those who are looking to do absolutely nothing on their vacation will be happy sitting poolside at Paradise Found enjoying the view. But those who want to experience St. Croix will not be disappointed in what she has to offer. The island had been under six different flags before the United States took possession in 1917. Because of it's rich history you will easily find traces of the French, Spanish, Dutch and particularly Danish influences. |

Begin
your education about St. Croix in picturesque Christiansted, only 15
minutes from Paradise Found. Visit Fort Christianvaern,
the Apothecary Hall, and the Steeple Building. Stroll along the
Christiansted boardwalk to see the boating activity in the harbor, and
while there, make sure to take advantage of the many great shops that
bring the shaded galleries and arcades to life. There are so many
unique St. Croix products to look for -- island inspired jewelry, glass,
artwork, clothing, and food.
Guided walking tours are available and maps and literature are available at the National Park service office, located right next to the Fort in the Scale House. |
