St. Croix Nightlife
Beyond the incredibly magnificent beaches and historically rich aspects of St. Croix, there is an unbelievable nightlife that is as impressive as anything else you’ll ever see on this US Virgin Islands location. No matter what you’re interested in, there’s something for you to partake in as you peruse the breezy beach streets of St. Croix.
Among the gorgeous lights of Christiansted and Frederiksted, there’s a buzz that just can’t be denied. Seeing these lovely lights dance on the water should make any visitor to St. Croix feel like lightly swaying to the island rhythms that come off the ocean breeze of this Caribbean island. From bars located right on the beach to restaurants that offer the most delectable in Caribbean fare, there’s something for everybody on St. Croix.
If you’re looking for a bit of spice to add to your nightlife, then you must visit Jump Up. An annual event that’s as fun for the entire family as it is for the individual St. Croix visitor, this style party is perfect for anyone who wants to do something a little different for their Caribbean vacation. Streets are closed off, allowing moko jumbie (flamboyantly adorned dancers on stilts) to roam the streets and give children and adults alike a good old fashioned St. Croix thrill. There are youth bands and calypso bands both playing incredible music to which everyone can dance. What’s more incredible is that restaurants and shops stay open late to offer partygoers deals on their merchandise.
How about taking a trip on the wild side? If you like to hit the slots every once in a while then Divi Carina Bay Casino is your spot for hot shots and killer slots. This is St. Croix’s first (and only) casino and has its own unique blend of Las Vegas excitement and Caribbean charm. Any game that’s your particular preoccupation is here: from Blackjack tot Texas Hold ‘Em, to Video Poker. One can’t forget to mention the free live entertainment running throughout this casino. The Carina Bay Showbar provides visitors the opportunity to experience some incredible music while they wind that big hand.
If want to take it easy and listen to the mellow sounds of jazz, then you’re in luck. Even the spicy island life of the Caribbean knows when to keep it cool. The Sunset Jazz in Frederiksted is the perfect location to hear some of the best local jazz singers and musicians lay down some sweet harmonies and rhythms. Every third Friday, an array of businesses and volunteers hosts an evening chock filled with an impressive roster of jazz greats from all over the world. And with the club sitting right off the waterfront, there’s nothing more soothing than hearing the light sounds of jazz wafting off the warm Caribbean Sea.
