21 Things to Do on St. Croix, US Virgin Islands

by Sharon Harrison


If you are looking for a great place to get away, but you don't have a passport to leave the United States, consider a trip to St. Croix. It's a U.S. Virgin Island, so you are not really leaving the United States when you go there! No need for a passport, no need to go through customs! And, it is truly an amazing place to go!!
