St. Croix
Known as one of the most gay-friendly Caribbean Islands, St. Croix is nearly 100 miles of endless white beaches.
St. Croix is by far the least touristy of the three major American islands. There’s great shopping, resorts and restaurants for visitors but if you like peace and quiet, there’s also plenty of opportunity here.
Christiansted and Frederiksted are the two major towns, both named after Danish kings. Each town has a distinct personality, so most visitors try to get a taste for each one. From rum distilleries and plantations to nature reserves, there’s plenty to do and see.
The most popular beach on St. Croix is Dorscht Beach. The beautiful views, crystal clear water and calming waves are intoxicating. This is also a great place to run into other gay and lesbian travelers on holiday.
If you are looking for more adventure, Buck Island is about four miles off of Christianstead. The area offers fabulous water sports and beach activities. The national monument on Buck Island is more than 800 acres of paradise for gay, lesbian and all other travelers alike.
