All major hotels and many smaller ones have lighted tennis courts open to non-guests for a fee. Another option is to play with the locals at the two lighted public courts at Subbase.
Turpentine Tree

Residents call them tourist trees because their bark is red and peels. These tall trees grow all over the islands.
Whales

If you’re visiting in the spring, watch for whales cavorting offshore on your day sail or fishing trip.

Constant trade winds make it a breeze to windsurf Christian-sted Harbor. St. Croix Water-sports, a short ferry hop away from the waterfront, rents surf boards.
Windsurfing

Rent sailboards at breezy Cinnamon Bay Beach (seeCinnamon Bay Beach) for an exhilarating trip around the bay. The staff give lessons for novices or for those who want to improve their skills.
