St Croix Live Cam

Since 1917, when paradise was first called American, St. Croix has presented its idyllic landscape to many a modern explorer. Today, with tourism St. Croix's largest industry, people still arrive here looking for spices. They find them, too in our local restaurants, bars, and shops. While sugarmills still grace our hills, they now stand as picturesque ruins for neo-explorers to discover. Yes, people still arrive at our shores dreaming of treasure, and they find it whether in the exotic bounty at our local stands, in a dessert prepared by a celebrated chef, or in the ready Crucian smile.

St. Croix's culture leaves you no choice but to celebrate it. It's almost impossible not to smile as you savor a slice of anything smothered in mango salsa, or sip a Calypso Daiquiri created with Cruzan Rum. Check out a Harbour Night, a Jump Up, or a night of culture at Hotel on the Cay. You'll find yourself dancing in the sand or the street.

Take a journey into the past at the Whim Museum or at some hidden, haunting ruins of an old plantation. Learn about how St. Croix came to be what it is today by exploring the St. Croix Heritage Trail. You will look around with a renewed appreciation for Island culture! You can find it in the streets, in the hills, and in the water. While you're talking with one of our captains about the sea, we suggest you excuse yourself for a moment to peer at your own reflection in the pristine water. You'll be sure to catch yourself smiling!
