St. Croix's uniqueness exists in its old-world charm and the blending of the historical culture of seven different nations who governed her. Being more laid back than St. Thomas and a few paces faster than St. John, St. Croix is the "Quiet Virgin" in its own inimitable way. The island of St. Croix has an atmosphere that is more town and country and is large enough to go on an afternoon drive without having to travel the same roads twice. The rural surroundings offer natural settings that can be breathtaking and its closeness to nature's treasure strongly influences the visitor as well as the resident. The sparkling alive waters and white clean beaches make sailing, swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving, and enjoying the sunsets a Crucian pastime
