- Let's Go SightseeingFayetteville, NC71 contributionsConveniently located on the beach, Rhythms has a pretty basic food menu and a good adult beverage menu. It can be pretty pricey for lunch.Written July 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- brian b7 contributionsWe wanted to go hiking to see some 'nature' but our week was a hot one so we took in the self guided tour of the botanical gardens instead one day - not a bad choice at all for a old established site that has a huge variety to offer. We leisurely stroller for hours and found something new around every corner.Written June 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- LifeIsKismetHebron, CT38 contributionsBest snorkeling of our week long trip to St. Croix. We've done the pier in years past and it's only gotten better. There's some parking on Strand Street but we ending up finding spots on side streets within a block or two of the pier. Access the water via the stack of concrete blocks across from Polly's on the Pier restaurant. We snorkeled on two consecutive days. First day had 30 foot clear visibility, we saw green turtles, a trio of eagle rays, a shoal of squid, barracuda and zillions of Tangs and Sargent Majors. Second day was not quite as clear but still 15 - 20 foot visibility and we saw even more green turtles. Cane Bay Dive Shop (now permanently in Fredericksted on Strand St. across from the pier) has a great selection of gear and offers "Discovery" diving lessons for new comers.Written July 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Freedom7870153 contributionsWe took a taxi from the Cruise Ship Pier to Rainbow Beach and Rhythms Bar. We rented chairs and umbrellas and enjoyed lovely clear water. We ate at Rhythms and the food was really good and very reasonably priced. The drinks were yummy and refreshing. Cabs were waiting there through out the day. Would definitely return as was a chill vibe and a great location and food.Written June 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kristen RBeaverton, OR14 contributionsThis place is worth getting lost to find! Beautiful grounds and amazing history. Our only hiccup was that none of our maps apps were getting us directly to the location. They both told us we had arrived and we were still in the middle of the road with nothing around us. Keep driving down the road and you’ll eventually find it.Written February 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Joanna V30 contributionsIt was really interesting to see the plantation house (even though you can’t go inside) and the other houses and buildings on site. I did find the exhibits informative and moving. There was a short presentation and then we had time to wander around on our own. In the cook house, we got to try lemongrass tea. It was confusing to get there since the directions on google maps are incorrect- you need to turn in off Centerline road/Queen Mary hwy. Also when we got there, the closed sign was still up but they were actually open.Written July 22, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Andrew M7,589 contributionsThe Frederiksted Fort is the main attraction in Frederiksted. It is a historic building which has witnessed many changes since it was first constructed between 1752 - 1760. The fort remained a military base until after Denmark sold the islands to the USA, but was slowly decommissioned, and used thereafter in the public sector. It was then closed and had it's last major restoration in 1973, so is looking a little worse for wear. The fort was finally added to the National Register of Historic places in 1996.
The entry fee for the self guided tour is US$10. There are a number of interesting exhibits including paintings, sculptures, local architecture and local history. I found the most interesting was the Fredensborg exhibit. The Fredensborg was a Danish ship built in 1753. The ship arrived in St Croix in 1767 after travelling from West Africa, via the middle passage. Extensive records of the slaves transported, cargo and auction are on display. The ship sank the following year near Norway, but the wreck was not discovered until 1974. Extensive research was carried out on the ship which has been included in the display. The information provided gives the reader a good understanding of the horrendous practice of slaving.
There is a particularly moving excerpt from the 1756 autobiography of Olaudah Equiano, a slave, who travelled across the middle passage to Barbados on a slave ship. Amongst the display items are slave branding irons, whips, foot & hand shackles, slave collar and an executioners axe. The revolts on the Virgin Islands which led to the emancipation proclamation in 1848, and the subsequent revolts against poor working conditions and the 1917 sale of the island by Denmark are all extensively documented.
I thought that the displays were very informative, although it was obvious that the fort was badly in need of repair. This is a good local history museum and a great way to better understand the local culture whilst visiting. Other nearby attractions include the Freedom statue and Buddhoe Park.Written August 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Getting into the water is tricky as there are tons of rocks and no easy way to get in. The snorkelling was excellent. We saw many fish, turtles, sea urchins and other sea life.Written March 22, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Anonymous3622APlace31 contributionsWe stumbled across this place while exploring the West side of the island. It's only open a couple of days a week, so we were lucky. An extremely knowledgeable guide showed us around; we were the only people there so it was very personal. I loved learning about St Croix's Danish history. The tour was slow and really detailed; I'd recommend it for real history buffs . There's a cute farm stand outside it which is a good place to get a cool drink after your tour.Written April 14, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Stanley KWatersmeet, MI516 contributionsThere should be a listing of just the Rain Forest, but since there is not, this will work. We drove on Highway 69 south from Cane Bay and then west on 76 toward Frederiksted. We went past Country Mini Zoo and Store where we enjoyed a smoothie, and we had lunch at Mt. Pelter Domino Club and fed the pigs. The roads were poor, but we went slow. It was a pleasant drive.Written February 8, 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Tommy599Two Rivers, WI858 contributionsUp early and Tom & Yvonne walk into Town to St Patrick’s Church for the 8:30 service (internet schedule noted in error that services were at 8 Am & 9:30 AM for the two Christmas services.
Wow what a neat old stricture. The outside three ft. thick walls are cut coral blocks (this whole island is coral pushed up out of the sea), with a beautiful wood (inside appearance) ship hull ceiling. The church seating capacity is a little over 400, but there were only about 60 in attendance, along with two pigeons that flew in for a while and then back out. Parishioners were all African American and 6 Caucasians.
Christmas service was basically what Tom would call a “High Mass” (with incense and all). Besides the priest, there were two deacons, and 6 servers in attendance. Tom’s opinion is possibly they celebrate the Mass down here with such ceremony every occurrence they can!Written December 31, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

A soak of 20 minutes is more than enough - UNLESS your feeling adventurous - then snorkel off the shore and there is a lot to see - just be careful with getting back on land.
There is a rope and stone stairwell to access the beach - parking was alongside the roadway near northwest village. there is also a washout to access if you miss the stairwell.
lots of sharp edges to be sure to wear water shoes/dive booties - not flip flops.
Check the pool before stepping in - short step down - but a handful of tiny marshmallow size) black urchins - remember urchins can MOVE.
we actually visited 2xx during our week stay in STX. Our second trip was after we hiked the lighthouse (see review) - and it was a nice way to cool off.
there is also a cool structure at the end of the beachline. and don't miss out on the wildlife - Blue Herons - Egrets and Pelicans and iguanasWritten March 6, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
