Morning
Get up early to watch the sun rise at Point Udall, at the island’s easternmost tip. Sunrise varies by season, so check with your hotel’s front desk to find out what time to depart. After snapping a few photos of the sun peeking over the horizon, head west to the Buccaneer Hotel’s (seeThe Buccaneer Hotel, St. Croix) attractive dining room for its scrumptious breakfast served buffet style and the fabulous sea views.
The point of a St. Croix vacation is not to shop till you drop or tour till you’re bored, but rather to see the sights at a slow pace and spend some time in a chaise. So after breakfast, head back to your hotel for a few hours at the beach. Don’t forget the sunscreen. When the sun gets high in the sky, head off to Christiansted for lunch at Café Christine (seeCafé Christine), where you can sit in blissful shade at the alfresco porch tables.
Afternoon
Walk off your lunch with a stroll around Christiansted, stopping at its small shops and taking in the town’s historic ambience. A halt at Christiansted National Historic Site (seeChristiansted National Historic Site) will help you understand the island’s history.
Pause for a few moments at one of the benches strategically placed along the waterfront boardwalk to enjoy the sea view.
Wrap up your afternoon with a sunset sail from the Christiansted waterfront, or simply return to your hotel for a nap.
