sandy point, st. croix3 of 6

Any dissing we may have done in the past over a perceived lack of secluded shoreline in St. Thomas disappeared when we stumbled upon Neltjeberg Bay.

In the first 3 months after a major hurricane one might expect any affected island to still show widespread signs of devastation. This was the big surprise of my trip back to St. Croix this past December – for the most part, the place looked pretty clean.

What St. Croix is right now is open for business, especially for uncommon travelers bent on fully immersing themselves in one of the Caribbean's most culturally rich, naturally blessed, and uniquely special islands. 

Upon arriving back on St. Croix in mid-December and making our initial drive north of Frederiksted toward Rainbow, we feared our favorite beach bar might not be there.

We wondered, before arriving in STX in mid-December, just three months after Hurricane Maria, if the St Croix beaches had rebounded as yet.

How's St. Croix faring post-Hurricane Maria? Should you pay our home island a visit this winter? We'll share a lot of answers this week.

What would our Father's Day look like if we were back home in St. Croix...?

Flanked by towering hills and crashing surf, St. Croix's Jack and Isaac Bay Preserve presents as nice a hike as you can find in the Caribbean.
