About St. Croix in the U.S Virgin Islands

St. Croix's history spans the rule of seven nations, each influencing the customs, character, language and architecture of the of the island. St. Croix retains the old world charm – the pace is slower, and everyone takes time to stop and smell the frangipani blossoms!

The island is 1700 miles south of New York, 1100 miles south east of Miami, near the eastern tip of the Caribbean island chain. On the same latitude as Acapulco and Hawaii it is eternal summer caressed by cooling trade winds. The average temperature is in the mid-80s, and there's just enough rain to keep the hibiscus and bougainvillea in bloom. The island is 22.7 miles long, and at its widest only 8 miles, but you’ll want to rent a vehicle because there’s so much beauty and history to see, including the rain forest, beaches, museums, rum factories, and historical sites.

The beaches are unique, some quiet coves, some, like Cane Bay, a world renown dive site. Snorkeling is easy because the salty water helps you float! Abundant sea life and coral reefs are close to shore.

St. Croix is ideal for weddings and family reunions, and Budget offers special rates. Whether you are coming to St. Croix for vacation, visiting family, business or for the season, Budget St. Croix can help you enjoy all St. Croix has to offer!
