2 Best Sights in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands

On the island's breezy North Shore, Cane Bay does not always have gentle waters but the scuba diving and snorkeling are wondrous. You can see elkhorn and brain corals, and less than 200 yards out is the drop-off called the Cane Bay Wall. Make Cane Bay an all-day destination by combining a dive with food and drinks at the casual bars and restaurants that line the waterfront, including the excellent AMA at Cane Bay. Amenities: food and drink. Best for: snorkeling; swimming.

At 1,165 feet, this is St. Croix's highest peak. Determined hikers can follow a dirt path to the summit, or take a jeep tour with Tan Tan Tours. Route 78 (Scenic Road) climbs the shoulder of the mountain to the trailhead; use your GPS to locate the exact trailhead.
