Beyond the unbelievable view, this water locked piece of land is perfect for those who want to get in a round of snorkeling.

It goes without saying that there are a great many historical monuments spotted throughout St. Croix. To get an up close and personal look at the history of St. Croix, visit one of the many historical cities. Fort Frederik, a fort built to protect the island from pirates, is the scene of most important event to take place in St. Croix --8000 slaves marched from Estate LaGrange to Fort Frederik demanding freedom. The governor of the time (1848), Governor Von Scholten, gave into their demands. Also take a peek at the Old Danish Customs House. As the name suggests, this is where sailors would come to port and pay their taxes as they sailed through St. Croix.
