Frederiksted Beach

Drop anchor off Frederiksted's western shore and you've got one of St. Croix's most rewarding spots — a laid-back town with genuine Caribbean character right on your doorstep. The waterfront puts you walking distance from local restaurants, rum bars, and the colorful Danish colonial architecture that makes Frederiksted stand out from the more touristy side of the island. The coral reefs here are seriously worth suiting up for, with some of the best wall diving in the USVI just offshore.
