June 28, 2021 Brandee Mangan

Made up of St. Croix, St. John and St. Thomas, the laidback USVI offer sophisticated dining, turquoise waters and quaint towns. On St. Croix, Christiansted's colorful Danish Colonial buildings provide a lovely backdrop for dining or sailing. Underwater coral gardens are heaven for divers. On St. Thomas, shopping mecca Charlotte Amalie has hopping nightlife. Tranquil St. John offers quiet trails, secluded coves and lively Cruz Bay's shops and bars. Ferries and local air services link the islands.

Mt. Eagle

Reviewed By davidwK4553IL

Mt Eagle is the highest point on ST Croix, approximately 1160 feet.. From the top parking lot, it is a relatively easy 25 minute hike/walk to the summit, which is a cairn of rocks. Continue past the summit to the overlook, about 100 yards, and you will have a magnificent view of Cane Bay and the north shore. Map it out by starting at Rowdy Joe's and drive up the hill on rte 73 and turn right on rte 78(also called Scenic Road on some maps). The road is one lane and bumpy. Drive to saddle between Mt. Eagle and Blue Mt (which has communications towers on its summit). From the saddle walk about 100 yards down the right jeep path to the trail head on the right. Bring water and snacks.

4. Sail Rock

St. Thomas http://www.divebuddy.com/divesite/4526/sail-rock-virgin-islands/

This coral-encrusted exposed rock pinnacle is a challenging dive that should be tried only when conditions are are safe.

5. Anchor Wall

St. Croix

A thrilling wall dive in St. Croix that gives divers a sweeping view of wide open space - underwater of course.

6. West Wall

St. Croix

Plunging down to 130 feet, this thrilling wall dive contains spectacular pinnacles, cavern-like recesses and diver-dwarfing passageways.
