Fort Frederik, also known as Frederiksfort, is a vibrant European fort built in the mid-18th century to protect colonial economic interests from pirate attacks. This historic site in St. Croix played a significant role in the island's history, serving as the location where emancipation was declared in 1848 after a revolt led by enslaved people. The fort's stunning red hue stands out against the blue ocean and it is conveniently located near St.
The fort was very interesting. A lot more information here than Fort Christiansvern actually. It was not fully open, but we were glad to find it open after several tries on other days, even though it was a children’s museum event, they let us walk through! Enjoyed all the exhibits.

Interesting historical site. Fees charged for entry. Nice ocean views and many rooms have been turned into galleries with offerings from local artist.

Fort Frederik was inspiring. Brings you back to a much different time in history. The fort itself needs a lot of work but was recently approved for a 6.4 million dollar grant. Lots of art work from locals and tons of information about its history. Worth the 5 dollar donation to check everything out.. Having someone there to answer questions would have been a plus and would have gotten the 5th star.

$5 cash per person, no credit cards, interesting history boards on the walls of the fort. I felt like highschoolers made the boards with content. They have an art room which is very basic not actual art from that Era, and really is art from 12th graders. I think the rooms could have been staged more on the bottom of the fort. The captains quarters was staged nicely and gave realistic view of how people lived in the fort. It's self guided. Would be nice to have a guided tour offered at times.

Interesting small fort to explore, but highly recommended while in town to learn about local history. It doesn’t take a lot of time to visit while already in Frederiksted.

Nice area just wish that there was a little more to do and see even though it was a pretty nice and quite tour of the fort. It was a self guided tour with signs along the way for you to read and learn of the local history and the fort.

Marina

Piers & Boardwalks
Frederiksted Pier, located on the west end of St. Croix, is a popular spot for fishing charters and a hub for snorkelers and divers. The 1,526-foot pier's concrete pilings are teeming with sea creatures like seahorses, lobsters, and barracudas, making it an ideal destination for beginners and families. This expansive pier can accommodate two cruise ships and is even designed for use by submarines.
This is a small town port for the cruise ships we were Anchored in front of Rainbow Beach. We had limited snorkeling because a ship was in and we were told we could snorkel near the pier when cruise ships are in If you are sailing on your own private boat great Anchorage, and the snorkeling around your boat is Amazing I had 8 Turtles from huge to tiny under the boat. Dinghy can tie up to the wall at the very front of the pier, watch out for snorkelers.

Clean, friendly, inviting and fun! You could just hang out at the pier and beach all day when at port here. We decided to kayak at Salt River Marina which was amazing. Booked a 4hr self guided and it was well worth it. Returned and spent a few hours at the beach. Reasonable drinks, good selection, good ribs n chicken combo plate too. Really enjoyed our visit, even though it rained... we were in the water anyway! No issues here... highly recommend!

Excellent snorkelling location. As you stand on land and look at the pier entry, just to the left are some steps. Make entry to the water here. The rocks around here have lots of colourful fish. If you follow the shore on your right, you will eventually get to the pier. This is a micro dive location, with lots of coral, colourful fish etc around the pier legs. If a cruise ship is in port, this area is off limits, guards will move you away. Back more centrally into the ocean are two old mooring points. This is the old pier which was mostly destroyed in a hurricane. These points are full of coral and beautiful fish, well worth the swim out. Around the seagrass as you swim back to shore, you can see rays and sea turtles! One of the best snorkelling sites I’ve been to!

We were here on a Royal Caribbean cruise. We came last year too, and took a bus tour instead of walking into town. This time, we stayed and just walked to see the sights. We had more fun just sightseeing than the bus tour. My wife uses a power wheelchair, and even with a manual chair, the load/unload on the bus is a chore. The town is lovely, mostly friendly to our wheelchair, and plenty of shopping. We enjoyed our day there.

Beautiful beach. I’m sure the other beaches are great too but the waters are calmer here. Quite rocky so wear water shoes to be cautious. There’s a restaurant here, jet skis available, snorkeling, and other water activities. I just lounged on the beach. Beach chairs and umbrella available for rental here. No lifeguard on duty. If you’ve got little kids, just be warned there is ganja smoking here.

Is a nice small place to go 1.1 miles from the ship. Rather pricey to get there $5 each one way, and get umbrella and 2 chairs ($40) and resort type pricing on food and drink. $7 beer, $15 mix drinks etc. Still gets a little crowed.
Dave S — Google review
Nice beach with a good amount of sea glass scattered about. We saw several jet skis moored here. The parking is tight, just find a spot along the road. It's packed on weekends. The beach goes for longer than you realize so if one spot is filled up just head north.
Tyler D — Google review
Our first time, we brought our own beach gear but you can rent everything from a little shop here also. Amazed at how much there was to see snorkeling! Wasn't too crowded, had fun listening to multiple music sources, met some nice visitors and locals as well. Parking was simple, right on the road. Felt safe and very laid back.

Frederiksted Beach, also known as Fort Frederik Beach, is a convenient spot for a refreshing swim after exploring Frederiksted. The beach offers public restrooms and picnic tables for visitors' convenience. Nearby dining options include Pollys at the Pier, which serves wraps and rice bowls, and The Fred eatery with its seafood salads and lobster rolls. While the beach has clear waters ideal for snorkeling, it's important to be cautious of the rocky shore by wearing water shoes.
We really enjoyed the beach. The water was great, just be careful of the rocks getting into the water. Lots of great music playing around us and a neat fort and cannons set the view. Easy walk from the cruise ship dock. Loved the downtown market vendors and small shops too. Also they were decorated for Christmas!

Great little beach if you just want to get off the ship for a dip. BRING YOUR WATER Shoes. Snorkeling isn't too bad. We saw a good variety of fish and a few tube worms.

Nature & Wildlife Areas
The Sandy Point National Wildlife Refuge is one of the most beautiful beaches on St. Croix and is only open during the weekend and when there is a cruise ship in port. The beach opens at 10 AM and closes at 4 PM, so make sure to check the website or call ahead to reserve a spot! The refuge features stunning views of nature, including whales, dolphins, seagulls, turtles, and more.
Went to the north beach. It's picture perfect. Not too crowded on the beach even when the parking lot is full & cramped. There is a walk, then a steep hill to get to the water so make sure everyone in the family can handle that. No shade near the water!! Can't dig on this beach, must be respectful of turtles.

The refuge itself is closed seasonally, but the long beautiful sandy beach before you get to the reserve is one of my favorite places on earth. On 6/21 I get to go to the refuge to watch for turtle hatchlings and make sure they make it to the water. I can't wait!

Bee-u-tee-full! Because just saying beautiful hardly describes the north beach at Sandy Point. My cousins brought me here for a wonderful afternoon of fun and sun. The mampee loves the taste of my Texas skin, but thankfully I met this super cool lady, Dr. Marni, that hooked me up with bug spray, soothing ointment, and bug repellent. If you do come here, bring your own shade.

Conditions of the surf and beach entry change from week to week. Very pristine and expansive beach. For first time visitors, there is no shade and umbrellas or shade features that have to be pushed into the sand are prohibited. Sandy Point is only open on weekends and is closed several months during turtle nesting season.

It is one of the top-rated places to eat on the island, offering a beautiful open-air dining experience with a view of the waterfront. The restaurant is highly recommended by locals and visitors alike for its great food and charming ambiance.

This place gives you the island vibe. Right on the water GREAT food, AWESOME employees, and the perfect atmosphere. Ate here multiple times over the week we stayed. Girlfriend could live off the iced coffee. Loved the breakfast burrito and bacon egg and cheese. Fish sandwich had some of the best slaw on it also the chicken sandwich is enough for two. Coming back next year and will eat here every day.

This place is absolutely amazing. Across from the beach, it's the perfect location for starting your day, or for taking a break in the middle of your day. The service was super friendly, and the food is wonderful. They have GF bread & bagels, as well as tofu for an egg substitute, if you're looking for one. The coffee is the best on the island! You can grab a coffee or some ice cream (or why not both??), then cross the street to enjoy it in front of the beautiful blue Caribbean waters. Polly's is perfect!

I went to Polly's at the Pier when Iwo Jima was docked in Fredricksted. This was not my first time here, but it will probably be the last. I went in around 2:00pm on a Friday and ordered a cheese quesadilla. It was busy, but not packed. I was told it may be a bit since orders were ahead. I get it 100% I've worked in the industry. After about 20ish minutes I asked how it was going with my order as the place was emptying out. The owner, I'm assuming, went to check and then told me they were working on it now. After another 15 minutes I asked her again. She went back and told me the same thing. One of the workers came up to me and asked what I was waiting on. I told her a cheese quesadilla and it has now been 45 minutes. She came back and told me the exact same thing. I immediately asked for a refund and the owner then brought it out. She asked if I still wanted the refund or the quesadilla. I took the quesadilla and left. Now, I am not one to normally complain; however, this was worse than a quesadilla I could've made at home. The cheese didn't even cover the quesadilla and so flat. I'm disgusted I paid $13 for this PLUS waited for 45 minutes. **The last picture was from November of last year, 2024.

The food is excellent. We went twice during our stay at Cane Bay. My husband recommends the hibiscus iced tea and I love the black tea. Our first meal was so yummy and just as we had remembered . Our second meal was a train wreck. We had to wait for an extended period of time while the manager and the chef were having loud arguments in the kitchen. She came and yelled for minutes on end. I felt uncomfortable and felt sorry for the chef. The manager needs to learn how to manage. Just saying.. in the end after the dust settled our food was good but didn’t go down as easy under normal circumstances .

It’s the little things … I think … NO, I know Polly’s is going to be a fabulous eatery icon of Frederiksted in no time …. just like ITAL In Paradise is to Christiansted.

The turkey club is so good! Sandwiches are huge and you definitely get your moneys worth. Also got the mac and cheese, and it tasted yummy and homemade. Once our food was ready we took it upstairs and ate overlooking the ocean. It was raining outside but the top where we sat was still nice and dry. Beautiful views and excellent food. Highly recommend this spot for lunch!

Possibly the most disappointing sandwich I've had in my life. I've heard great things about this spot, but based on my experience... I certainly wouldn't go again. The chicken was so dry and absolutely flavorless. No seasoning? Salt? Everything was poorly thrown together. I felt like I paid $17 for a sandwich Helen Keller could have made better.

After many years of enjoying one of the best deli’s on island, Turtles Deli is temporarily closing its doors for change of management. Located on the shores of Frederiksted, on the west side of the island, this family-owned business has served the community some of the best sandwiches on island. With previous owners retiring, the deli was purchased by new management, who will be offering much of the same menu that we’ve come to love, but with some new additions. Their initial focus will be to provide the same recipes and flavors and add a personal touch. Turtle’s Deli provides a great location for customers to enjoy a quality sandwich, with a cold brew and literally eat on the beach. I can’t wait for them to re-open!! Stay Tuned for their Updates and feel free to check out @eatingstcroix on Instagram or FB.

I have been here a few times but mostly for a drink or quick app while hanging out on the water, never been for a full meal. I was seated by Yvette the hostess. She was polite and led me straight to my table even though I didn’t have a reservation she even told me who my server would be. As soon as he was able Tim took my order and helped me choose and main. I ordered the bang bang shrimp so good not too spicy and a hint of sweet. The steak … 14oz boneless ribeye … juicy and flavorful with grill marks was delicious and just what Imagined it would be. The mashed potatoes seasoned just right without lumps. The green beans … definitely seasoned. All on point ! A little shocked to see the sides a la carte priced at $10 each when I have a strong feel the green beans are from a can. I ordered a Capashio it was ok, couldn’t taste or feel the alcohol just the pistachio flavor. I will still come back tho !

The food was not what I expected at all, the salmon burger was a bit dry, the fries tasted like something frozen, you would bake at home. The drinks were okay, they were a good size for the price.

We ate here every day we stayed at Sandcastle on the beach and we were not disappointed with a single meal! They have daily food specials and a set menu as well. I would highly suggest the garlic steak skewers, the lemon garlic wings, the grilled pork chops, and the coconut jasmine rice. The white chocolate bread pudding was everything! All of their mixed drinks were delicious and refreshing and none of the bartenders ever skimped us on liquor! We had exceptional service every time we dined. The view of the water is so relaxing! They do ask if you have reservations but we didn’t need them any of the times we dined, even the busier brunch hours we still got seated immediately. Also, Anyone can come here. You do not have to be staying at the resort. They do brunch Saturday and Sunday from 10:30-3pm. Every other day they serve lunch and dinner from 11am-8:30pm (if I’m not mistaken). Feel free to swing by even if you aren’t staying at Sand Castle for a yummy meal on the water.

Went here on a Sunday afternoon for a family day at the beach! I ordered the Cajun shrimp appetizer which was delicious. The wings were not up to par as they were not crispy as expected. In addition to that, the amount of fries that were given were less compared to our previous experience. Overall the prices did not meet the expected quality and quantity of the food. Lastly, our waiter Jordan was cool but we did wait a long time overall for the food! Hopefully next time will be a better experience as I heard really great things about the restaurant!

Great food, drinks, and unbeatable sunset views! Rhythms is in a perfect beachside location you can enjoy your meal or drinks with your feet in the sand and the sound of the ocean right beside you. The food and cocktails were delicious, and the laid-back atmosphere made it easy to relax and enjoy the moment. The vibe was beachy and relaxed, making it easy to unwind and enjoy the setting. There’s also plenty of parking, which is always a plus. Just a heads-up—if you're coming with a larger group, it's a good idea to call ahead so they can accommodate you comfortably. The only reason I'm giving 4 instead of 5 stars is a small but frustrating hiccup we weren’t aware that there's a specific area for takeout orders, and the server refused to take our order since we were seated in the “wrong area". It was an honest mistake, and we were more than willing to move, but the policy felt unnecessarily rigid. Still, overall it’s a fantastic spot for good food, beach views, and a relaxed island experience. Perfect place to catch the sunset with a few drinks and food! 🌅🍹🌴

Amazing pizza! This is a *must* in Frederiksted! Absolutely a must try. Wisconsinites here who love our pizza and cheese. Cheese Bread awesome too! Just like home & maybe better! Not busy at all right at 5 when they open. Bonus: drinks are very generous!!

The atmosphere was unique, Ryan took excellent care of us, but the food was just okay.. I was not impressed with the food anywhere on the island to be honest, other than the Lerainne Chicken shack. This is a decent late night option as not many late night options exist. I think I would have liked it more if the crust wasn't so thin, and oh, a 14 inch pizza is 36.00. It would be 16.00 in the states, and though things cost more there, it's not THAT much more. We did get to watch an amazing pillow fight while there (ESPN goes deep with their professional sports).

Its what you would expect for a dive bar. The best thing about the place was the waiter/baretender, he was friendly and fantastic! Pizza was nothing special, super thin crust. Its hard to find places to eat that are open late, and we probably won't visit again unless its a late night.

Fun dive bar ambience and Ryan, our bartender, was super friendly. Food took a bit, but that seems to be the case everywhere here, and my god was it worth the wait. Delicious pizza!!! There are 3 gluten-friendly appetizers for those of us who can’t have it, too. My kids played foosball while we waited and lived the pizza, too.

Best pizza on the island, and some of the best I have had outside of Italy. Drinks were very generous and cheap. Pizza was not cheap, but worth every penny. Definitely a local atmosphere. It was a great place to get dinner the first night in Frederiksted. The bartender and locals answered all our questions to get the vacation off on the right foot. We went several times for drinks, and pizza was good enough it commanded a three-peat dinner performance. It was most satisfying after a night scuba dive off the pier.

Space is the sort of grunge you would find in a NY Bowery bar while the Strokes were on back in the early 2000s in nyc. Pizza is actually pretty good, As I absolutely crushed the BBQ chicken pizza and x4 rum and Coke’s. Come sober and hungry, leave happy from the lost dog. Place is truly a locals joint so if you feel like jamming with locals this is the place.

Just a street bar by day. They serve beer streetside when ships are in port.

The pizza was actually really good! This is an adult only restaurant, if you have kids, get the pizza to go and leave the kids at the hotel when you pick it up. When I say "adult", I mean it is a proper bar. Reminded me of my days bar hopping as a college aged kid. I tried the garlic bread and brie as an appetizer and was pleasantly surprised. European travelers will enjoy it. For my main course, I ordered the Mary Wilson pizza and thoroughly enjoyed it. Karen was a pleasure to meet and obviously enjoys what she does. They accept major credit cards, except for Amex.
