Caribbean Moment: The Joys of Christiansted, St Croix

By: Alexander Britell and Guy Britton - May 3, 2020 - 10:26 pm

For many, the charms of the island of St Croix are still some of the best-kept secrets in the Caribbean.

And that includes the wonderful historic town of Christiansted, a vibrant, charming, eminently walkable downtown.

It’s a city that continues to change, from a buzzing culinary scene to a growing cocktail culture (and even the island’s first tiki bar).

The latest Caribbean Moment takes you on a virtual vacation to Christiansted, to the sights and sounds of this centuries-old city, to Protestant Cay, to the colorful archways of the city center, to the boardwalk.

It’s a walk around town — and the perfect way to start your week.
