Where to stay on St. Croix, area by area
Christiansted
The old Danish town on the north coast: the boardwalk, restaurants, the boats to Buck Island. Condos and inns you can walk from.

- TaxiTaxi from Airport (STX) to Chenay Bay$32 for 1–2 riders · $17 each for 3+ (official fare)
North Shore & Cane Bay
Cane Bay's wall dive off the beach, Salt River, the rainforest road above. Quiet, green and spread out; a car is a must.

Frederiksted & the West End
The pier town on the west coast: sunsets, Rainbow Beach, Sandy Point, the pier dive. Slower than Christiansted, livelier on cruise days.

Mid-island
Near the airport and the shopping centres, between the two towns: practical, central, not on the water.
