Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for St. Croix right now.
Although the shopping on St. Croix isn't as varied or extensive as that on St. Thomas, the island does have several small stores with unusual merchandise. St. Croix shop hours are usually Monday through Saturday 9 to 5, but there are some shops in Christiansted open in the evening. Stores are often closed on Sunday.
If you've rented a condominium or a villa, you'll appreciate St. Croix's excellent stateside-style supermarkets (albeit with prices that are at least 30% higher than on the U.S. mainland). Fresh vegetables, fruits, and meats arrive from the mainland frequently and are always available. Try the open-air stands strung out along Route 70 for island produce.
St. Croix native Brian Bishop's trademark piece is the Turk's Head ring (a knot of interwoven gold strands). The family tradition continues with his kids, Nathan and Therese, creating contemporary sterling and gold pendants, rings, and earrings, necklaces, and pendants. Stop by to meet the Bishops, browse the jewelry, and "Feel the Love."
As the name implies, this small store sells hats, yes, but they're often perched on top of cotton shifts, comfortable shirts, and trendy tropical wear from designers like Sigrid Olsen, Cenia, THML, and Anne Cole Resort. If you forgot your bathing suit, Hotheads has a good selection.
This small shop showcases the handcrafted jewelry of local craftsman and "Island Boy" Whealan Massicott, including his signature, "infinity" style Crucian hook bracelet. Whether in silver or gold, the designs are simply elegant.
