Description St.
Frederiksted, its much quieter counterpart, resides on the west end, where an occasional cruise ship glides in and kicks up the pace..
It has two main towns: Christiansted, the largest, sits on the northeast shore.
Perhaps because St Croix drifts by its lonesome 40 miles south of the other Virgins, the vibe here is different: it feels less touristy, less congested, and more \'lived in\' by locals.
Today the Island is known for its scuba diving, rum making, marine sanctuary and 18th-century forts.
St Croix is the Virgins\' big boy it\'s more than twice the size of St Thomas - and it sports an exceptional topography spanning mountains, a spooky rainforest and a fertile coastal plain that, once upon a time, earned it the nickname \'Garden of the Antilles\' for its sugarcane-growing prowess.
