Market
Seaside Market & Deli in St. Croix is a convenient option for tourists looking to save money on dining out. This small grocery store offers a variety of grocery items, including fresh produce, deli meat, snacks, and ice cream at reasonable prices. It's located just a 5-minute drive from downtown Christiansted, making it easily accessible for visitors. The market is well-organized and stocked with helpful staff who provide excellent customer service.
This is by far, the best market in the US Virgin Islands. It is clean, organized, and stocked. The staff is second to none in helpfulness and great attitudes. I love the fresh bakery and fresh food bar. If you are ever in Christiansted, make this your go to for a quick bite to eat or stocking up while on vacation. The prices are reasonable and they don’t gouge the tourists like many other markets.

I decided to go to this store initially because it was relatively close to our hotel and seemed to have decent reviews. However, when I made a purchase at the end of April for a limited number of items, i.e. beverages/snacks, the cashier was not particularly friendly and never gave me the receipt and also never fully bagged the items and just left some of them on the counter. I didn't realize she had not placed the receipt in the bag until I returned to the hotel. I submitted a request through their website to ask for a copy of the receipt for my expense report and no one called me after several days, so I called again and again and finally reached Majet (spelling) who supposedly is the Manager. While he was nice enough and I provided him the requested info. so he could locate the receipt and e-mail to me, he never did. Despite multiple additional calls to try and reach him again, leaving messages, all the staff does is give you attitude, put you on hold for 15-30 min. and no one ever picks up. Additionally, one of the staff members was very rude/condescending. Long story short, I have had to dispute the charge through my credit card issuer as a last resort due to to the terrible communication situation with Seaside Market & Deli and the fact that I may have been overcharged and for items not put in the (2) bags. It would have been such a simple issue to resolve and instead they made it super complicated/ time consuming and unpleasant. Therefore, I could not recommend this place to anyone. The prices are ridiculous even for an island market (and I have lived on other islands) and the customer service is awful! Furthermore, there were many items that had no price labels on the shelves or products, so you have no clue what you are paying until check out or when you have the receipt in hand, which seems very sketchy. There are several other good grocers on the island from what I understand, so save your self the headache and expense and go elsewhere where your business will be valued.

Our go to from now on for any and all cakes! I ordered a half sheet cake for my son’s birthday and it was amazing! The baker even made the effort to design the cake like my son’s themed party and it was perfect! Fair price and amazing quality. Promptly ready at my requested pickup time too. We’ll be ordering our cakes from here from now on! Thank you Seaside bakery!

One of the nicer groceries on the island, with a decent selection. A little pricier than the discount stores but reasonable. They have rotisserie chickens! There are only 3 checkout lanes and it was packed on Friday at lunch. A little slow to get out but they had what we needed, including some GF options.
Tyler D — Google review
Expensive even compared to the other places in the island. Sometimes they have what I need and sometimes not but that's typical for the island. The produce is usually fresh and they have a good selection of spices at decent prices. I try and go to Quality if possible though and use Seaside for last minute things.
Katherine M — Google review
Best grocery store in the area when we stayed, clean, well stocked and has a great selection. Prices were really reasonable
Chelsea G — Google review
Well stocked store with a killer wine selection, fresh coffee,hot bar, and sandwiches. Call ahead for the sandwiches as a longer wait should be expected. They do not have plastic bags so make sure to brings yours. If you forget, the have reusable bags you can buy for $.50. And yes, this store is definitely pricer than others.

Small little market that has all your needs and even more. Hot food is delish. Pricey but so is everywhere else on the island.

Restaurant
Savant in St. Croix is a popular restaurant known for its fusion of Mexican, Thai, and Caribbean dishes. It's highly regarded by critics and visitors alike and is often ranked among the best restaurants in the Caribbean. The restaurant prides itself on using local ingredients to create unique dishes such as Thai curry with chicken or a fillet of beef stuffed with portobello mushrooms and goat cheese. The cozy indoor dining room fills up quickly, so it's recommended to make reservations in advance.
Hands down - the best meal in the town! Everything is special about this place, the atmosphere, service - fast and polite, and especially food. We tried their lazy lobster, with previously ordered chargrilled calamari appetizer for the first time and their lamb chops for the other night.. - everything was absolutely delicious. Also, the wine cart there is impressive as well. Highly recommended dining experience on St. Croix!

The atmosphere is great. The rear courtyard is beautiful, a bit crowded but we asked to be moved inside and the personnel was really kind and helpful. The food was good but we waited a bit too much, maybe cause it was so crowded. Overall great ambiance to have a date.

Excellent food and atmosphere. The prices may be a tad higher but the quality of the food is even higher. Enjoyable experience with great dishes. Highly recommend the seafood dishes (we tried almost everything off the menu). Special shoutout to Fran our server who was phenomenal. Recommend calling ahead or getting a reservation. Very nice seating area out back too if the weather allows!
Chad L — Google review
My steak was awesome! However, my wife’s lobster was overcooked and chewy. We brought it to the waitress’ attention and go said she’d get a new one. Come to find out that the lobster was ALL already precooked in the same batch earlier and not cooked to order so they would all be cooked the same. Very disappointing given the price and how long it took it to get our food. The triple layer chocolate cake was good. While we were there, an elderly couple at the table near ours ordered the pour over coffee with their dessert… the first time, they (the waitress) poured way too much water in so the cup over flowed on the table, when the waitress tried to clean it up, the coffee spilled everywhere getting hot coffee on the elderly lady. The second time, the bartender poured the water and still overflowed the cup but luckily they (bartender) left the small water pitcher there so they (the couple) was able to swap out the cup to catch the excess. It was quite the ordeal to watch.

Sat in the courtyard, wonderful atmosphere and great food. For a 4-5 star restaurant the prices were reasonable. Spent $170ish, had lobster w/ curry butter, my wife had the bacon wrapped porchop, both excellent, we also indulged in several cocktails. Overall, great experience.

Christiansted Boardwalk

4.6
(846)
Christiansted Boardwalk is a charming waterfront promenade along Christiansted Harbor in St. Croix. It's lined with inviting bars and restaurants offering outdoor seating, making it perfect for a leisurely pub crawl or enjoying craft cocktails with ocean views. The area comes alive at night with live music and a lively atmosphere, while local vendors sell handmade souvenirs during the day.
Beautiful place to check out. Can find souvenirs. Great place to have lunch and sightseeing or just grab a bench and chill.
Camilla F — Google review
Board walk was good place, shore and restaurants are nearby. i enjoyed lunch and dinner there. Fantastic sea foodand drinks. I roamed the small town and its shores. The waters were beautiful, but the heat and the fact that there was no alternatives for short boat rides,
PRADEEP K — Google review
Beautiful! However, the island itself is very hard to navigate because there are almost no street signs, almost zero wifi, and extremely bumpy roads. Did I mention they also drive on the left side of the road? I suggest getting a pamphlet/book the real estate agents use which can be found at the welcome center in Fredricksted.

Crucian Gold

(348)
Jewelry store
Crucian Gold is a renowned jewelry store on St. Croix, offering a stunning collection of handmade latching bracelets and other classic, island-inspired pieces. The store is known for its distinctive bracelet designs that exude quality and originality. Visitors can find unique, locally made pieces that range from casual to formal, understated to show-stoppers. The staff at Crucian Gold are praised for their exceptional guidance in helping customers find the perfect piece within their budget.
What a lovely store! Unique, locally made pieces that exude quality and originality. I went in looking for a gift for my wife, I wanted it to be undeniably Crucian and also not something you could find on ebay or amazon. The options seemed endless. From casual to formal, understated to show-stoppers, there was enough to cause analysis-paralysis... Thankfully, that's where the staff comes in to save your sanity. Maria was a phenomenal guide and undertood my goal and budget right from the start. I couldn't help but also purchase some gifts for my young kids when I saw some inexpensive yet memorable pieces (with ZERO pressure from Maria). The goods just sell themselves here and the great staff is icing on ths cake. You can browse and order from them online, but I wholeheartedly recommend you stop by. Small, local businesses are the best and Crucian Gold exemplifies this!

The two young ladies working there are so friendly and helpful. They helped me find the exact chain my son wanted as well as a nice piece to go with it. Very beautifully made and the quality is exceptional. He loves it!

Absolutely love my bracelets that I have. Bought my first when I was in St Croix, and have ordered the other 2 since I’ve been home. They are well made, unique, and very comfortable to wear all day everyday. I can’t wait to add more!
Amanda P — Google review
I came here on NYE and it was so busy. They are only letting 3 people in at a time, which is understandable because of such a small space. The young lady that was helping us was very nice and was willing to show my son several bracelet options. We both walked out with new bracelets! *Side note, I always get a bracelet when I come to STX. The one I purchased was the Crucian Knot.
Yolanda R — Google review
I cannot rave enough about how sweet all of the ladies were working here! Kelis was the sweetest sales associate and Ariel the jeweler helped me out with sizing due to my travel arrangements. There was no hesitation and both ladies were very accommodating as they resized my ring for me in a very quick and timely manner. I will be back to purchase from them again and recommend them for any jewelry purchases. They also had an amazing selection. 10/10!

High quality jewelry made by local artisans. I'm very happy with my purchase. Employees were lovely. Update: came back and got more amazing jewelry! EDIT* 4 years running going to Crucian Gold! I’d buy the whole store if my husband would let me! 😂
Kelley T — Google review
I am not typically a jewelry kind of person, but I found that this store makes you feel like you've walked into a genuine St. Croix experience unlike anywhere else. The staff is phenomenal and friendly; the jewelry is handcrafted, beautiful, and unique; and the pricing is very fair considering the effort put into making something by hand from literally bare metals. I've bought 3 things from here so far, one a which (a beautiful machete ring) unfortunately fell off of my finger and has become a permanent fixture of the ocean, and they have all been purchases that I'll remember and show people for years to come. This review sounds almost too good to be true, but I promise you wholeheartedly, this is a place you want to go if you want to bring a truly island piece of art and jewelry into your life.
Brandon W — Google review
We ordered matching love knot/crucian Knot bracelets for us as a couple. My order was processed and received within 1 week. It's absolutely gorgeous and came with a small jewelry bag with a jewelry cleaning cloth inside along with a story card and bumper sticker plus other goodies. We could not be any happier with our purchase.

Caribbean Sea Adventures offers personalized tours to historical sites, attractions, beaches, and shopping with knowledgeable guides. The tours typically last 3-6 hours and are conducted via taxi, van bus, or safari bus. Snorkeling adventures to Buck Island are highly recommended as they provide a safe and enjoyable experience. The crew is described as professional, friendly, and accommodating while prioritizing safety and communication.
My husband and I booked a Buck Island Reef 1/2 day tour through them and had the best time! We did book our trip in advance (we had initially booked a full day but the day before they called to let us know not enough people, so added us to the 1/2 day adventure!! Great communication). It was perhaps our favorite activity of our trip in St Croix! Besides the fact that we lucked out with great weather, our guides were so friendly and made the whole day enjoyable! Highly recommend booking your activities through them!

This trip was nothing short of incredible!! Captain Allie and her crew were absolutely awesome! They made it so much fun and were also extremely informative. Those 3 women were such a joy to be around! The boat was super clean, and the ride wasn’t rough at all. The snorkeling was gorgeous beyond my wildest dreams. I wish we would have done the whole day instead of the half.

We had such an amazing time on this charter with Captain Allie and crew member Lila! The tour was the perfect length, enough time to snorkel, relax, and enjoy without ever feeling rushed. The snorkeling gear was high quality, and they even gave a quick lesson that made us feel totally confident before getting in the water. The amenities onboard were spot on, and the rum punch was absolutely delicious,such a fun way to end the trip! Captain Allie and Lila were both friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly love what they do. We felt safe, relaxed, and completely taken care of the whole time. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience , highly recommend this tour!

We had an amazing experience with Caribbean Sea Adventures in St. Croix!

We did a half-day snorkeling tour to Buck Island as a family. We spent some time swimming and relaxing at Turtle Beach, then explored the stunning, expansive coral reef. The crew was incredibly friendly and professional, taking the time to connect with each guest. They were especially attentive to everyone’s needs—helping with gear fitting, guiding us through the coral reef, and ensuring our kids were safe and comfortable by bringing along a flotation ring they could hold onto for breaks. After the snorkeling, we were all treated to refreshing drinks—alcoholic cocktails for the adults and non-alcoholic ones for the kids. There was lots of chatting and laughter throughout. Highly recommend this tour!

We had the best time! My husband and I went TWICE the week we were here in St Croix. All the crew members were super informative and made our time so enjoyable that we had to go twice. The beach and snorkeling was so nice, we saw lots of marine life and it was a great experience! Don’t hesitate!

We were in St Croix for our family reunion last weekend and went to Buck Island with Carribean Sea Adventures. It was a FABULOUS trip that my family will never forget.

Christiansted National Historic Site

Historical place
Nestled along the picturesque bay, Christiansted National Historic Site offers a tranquil escape steeped in history. This remarkable site showcases the rich colonial past of the Virgin Islands, particularly during the 18th and 19th centuries when it served as a pivotal location for the Dutch West Indies. Established in 1952 and recognized on the National Register of Historic Places, this area is managed by the National Park Service.
We have enjoyed the tour, and it is more focused on the National Park history, which hubby and I enjoyed. Walked around the ground and the quint little town. I miss a whole lot around the water area because hubby and I decided to go back to see the glass shop. I didn't get to walk around the boardwalk area. But satisfied with our 3 hours walking tour with guide. Tour guide let us go on our last hour before heading back to our transportation back to the ship.

Ended up being here during government shutdown Nov 2025 (thank you Dems in the Senate!). Couldn't go inside as you can see from the locked gate pic (also in the pics you will notice how long grass is after not being mowed for 6 weeks). Nice grounds outside, and we found a ranger quitting for the day that graciously agreed to get JRs and brochures for us. Didn't get his name stupidly, but really made our day. Would love to come again and go inside someday.

This is a nice little park and the fort is interesting, but nothing special. It takes about 15 minutes to do the whole fort, though there is some interesting history. If you are like me, you do all the reading before getting there, so walking around is quite quick as it’s a small fort. There is a park around it and other buildings that make up the historical site itself. However when I went all of these were closed. It was also really hard to actually find the staff and get my brochure and stamp. I think in the summer, its probably more interesting, when everything is open.

Restaurant
Located on the waterfront at the Caravelle Hotel in Christiansted, Rum Runners is a popular restaurant known for its delicious food and fun atmosphere. The restaurant offers a variety of dishes made from locally sourced ingredients, including vegan lentil balls with passion fruit dipping sauce and papaya lemonade. For those looking to indulge, Rum Runners serves up conch fritters and rum cake doused with local Cruzan Rum.
Excellent little spot right on the boardwalk. View was great, right on the water. Nice chill vibe with music (but not too loud - you could definitely hear each other). A little crab walked by our table. Umbrella tables have a little light to help illuminate the table. Standard menu, but they have daily specials. Drink menu was extensive and well rounded. They have multiple desserts as well. I got the daily Catch - pan seared Mahi with lemon caper sauce - it was phenomenal! The family got shrimp & crab spaghetti, fish tacos, and fish & chips. All were great. We also got dessert - rum cake and twisted pecan pie - also phenomenal!

I would recommend this restaurant for dining. The food was good and the service was also good. The staff is friendly. Breakfast ends pretty early (10:00) so get there early. The pancakes are delicious and I also enjoyed the seafood pasta special for dinner. My husband and I visited a few times during our stay. They also have very good chocolate cake if you’re in the mood for a desert. The view and overall atmosphere is amazing.

This place has a great location and was gorgeous at sunset. They have a kids menu which was a plus. We wanted the dinner rolls but they were waiting on bread to rise still so we couldn’t get those. The chicken wings were good. Calamari was average. We ordered a variety of food off the menu and everyone was satisfied but not blown away. Portions were pretty good. Price is expensive for what it is. They were busy while we were there and best we could tell they only have two servers. Nice thing was bartender and another member of the staff were helping so the waits weren’t bad at all for ordering, drinks, or food. When we were leaving the server spilled a drink on me. I probably should’ve been offered some form of compensation for that but wasn’t.

The atmosphere is amazing right on the boardwalk/pier. The Food was at best Average but definitely nothing to write home about. Our server Ben was super fast and extremely knowledgeable on everything. Wouldn’t go out of my way but for a night or drink at a present location this is a great spot.one big down side is they don’t start serving dinner until 5:30.

A dive bar find. Extremely low expectations that were blown away. The WVA server was really prompt and made great recommendations. An Indian type onion app was delicious!! The fresh tuna with cream sauce was amazing. The tuna was incredibly fresh and cooked perfectly. The vegan gnocchi was chock full of vegetables really well prepared. The crème brûlée cheesecake was a nice touch. Definitely worth going.

Nestled on East End Road, right next to Seaside Market, Sharkey's Bait Stand is a delightful spot for anyone craving delicious food and refreshing drinks. This vibrant eatery offers an array of options from juicy burgers and wraps to Tex-Mex favorites like quesadillas and tacos. Their menu also features mouthwatering appetizers such as homemade cheese sticks, calamari, and the island-famous chicken wings—perfect for sharing while catching your favorite sports game on one of their many screens.
I came in on Sunday morning to grab a bite to eat and they had some football games. Marshall the bartender was super chill but efficient. Even though it looked like controlled chaos in there with everyone ordering from the 1-2 servers. They made it happen and I applaud them for it. I ordered a chicken wrap since I didn’t want anything too heavy and it hit the spot. I would love to go back and try some other stuff on their menu. The wait for the food wasn’t that long either.

Fries and chicken wraps delicious!!! My only concern is the bbq sauce they used is very different and nothing like a original dressing. Tastes more like a ketchup with sour and sweet as in dressing. Excellent service by the young gentleman on the bar. And music was great perfect volume.

It is NOT a bait stand It is a nice, active island restaurant. Which means ts main consistency is inconsistency! The food is always good...but sometimes they go to a reduced menu in the evening... When it closes is - up to the feeling of the day. It says proudly till 1130...but they were on the limited menu and locking the door by 930...on Saturday... The one doing so said "..you got to start closing before you close ." ...and was not aware the signs say open till 1130..boldly As I say...it's island .so quirky Really super chic fajitas out last visit

Went to watch a college football game while on the island. Positives: 12+ tvs all showing games; good amount of seating; pool tables; great food. Negative: when we arrived, one server for the bar and tables so everything was very slow. If you're in a hurry, hungry, or impatient, I recommend you skip it.

I use to come here all the time, sometimes they do a decent job now. I usually get the tacos or the taco salad these days. You won’t find anything fancy here, so it that’s what you’re looking for this isn’t the location for you. Pool tables, drinks and decent prices. Service does need to improve though.

One of the best on the island. Mahi quesadilla was seasoned and generous, but order fries. Chicken salad was flavorful. Ask for barbecue sauce or teriyaki. Great service.

I’m not sure if the place was understaff but it appeared to be only one server for the entire place. We almost left because it took forever to receive service. I ordered the shrimp plate with curly fries. My food was fresh and tasty. I would definitely recommend the place hopefully next time it will be fully staffed.

Love Taco Tuesday! It's a great place to gather with your friends. Great variety of Sharkey's specialties on the menu, daily specials, full-service bar, pool tables and TVs everywhere!

Had the ribs and really enjoyed them. With covid everything is a little different but this place had great food, very friendly service, and of course drinks. Try the fries, they are unique and delicious.

Great out of the way spot to find. Had a fabulous cheese burger and my husband had the meatball maranaro that he absolutely loved. The sauce was the best I've ever tasted.

The late night hang out, Nauti seems to be open after everyone else is closed. There is an indoor bar, and a large outdoor patio with covered picnic tables next to a bit of the ocean. We had a nice reggae band playing outside and lots of company, many of them locals. I must compliment our focused waitress who kept us plied with drinks even though we were at farthest outdoor table. Come here after 10pm with your crew and celebrate St Croix. Cheers.

Fantastic atmosphere, very laid back and relaxing! Met Lana (one owner) and Colorado native Brian (the bartender).... had some great wings and Texas BBQ ribs along with several tasty cocktails! We will make this our every day stop on our next visit to St Croix!

This place has the best BBQ on the island as far as I'm concerned. The price is good for the portion size and quality. Service was friendly and fast. I'll definitely be back here, I reccomended you stop here sometime.

Just an amazing place! My husband and I were on our honeymoon, hit it off with our server next door and went over to NP together afterwards to get some drinks. The friendliest atmosphere we found on the island. It ended up being our go to spot throughout the whole trip. We met so many people, enjoyed playing pool & ping pong, drinking cocktails & beer and just having a great time. Love the neighborhood feel of this place. Highly recommend :) plus, it’s one of the few late late night options. Thanks Conrad for the hospitality! - Jenna & Ryan

40 Eats and Drinks is a cozy urban Italian restaurant in Christiansted, offering a casual atmosphere and locally sourced ingredients. The menu features creative preparations of fresh fish, Italian specialties, and salads made with local greens. Their signature dish includes several varieties of mac and cheese. The Sunday brunch is popular, so reservations are recommended. Guests can enjoy delicious coffee cocktails like the espresso martini and unique dishes such as Voodoo Shrimp n Grits.
10 a.m. Sunday brunch was delish but make sure you make a reservation ahead of time, like most places lately. I asked the server for a coffee with alcohol, to get the party started, and she didn't mention the espresso martini but I found it eventually. It was pretty good! I also ordered the Voodoo Shrimp n Grits. I was nervous about the bananas but my server was sweet and patient and finally convinced me to try it as is. It was DELISH!!!! The sweetness of the grilled bananas was not overpowering and was actually perfect with everything else! I definitely suggest this cute little restaurant to anyone visiting St. Croix!

It was good, not great. The rock shrimp appetizer was the best part of the meal, but $17 for an appetizer is too high. The clam linguini was ok, but the white wine sauce was too strong or undeveloped. Too much of an alcohol taste. The snapper was just ok. The quinoa and feta artichoke sauce was very good, but the snapper tasted frozen or perhaps it wasn't snapper. I live in Florida and have a freezer full of snapper I caught, so I know what fresh snapper tastes like. The chocolate rum cake was delicious. The service was excellent. Very friendly and attentive. I hate leaving low or average reviews, but $95 for 2 people, 1 alcoholic beverage, 1 dessert, 2 entrees and an appetizer is priced high enough that it calls for honesty in my opinion.

The highlight of the dish is the broccolini. Chicken is white, chewy and lacks seasoning, mashed potatoes are bland and do not taste like they have any bit of Parmesan. The white wine sauce is yummy. Not at all worth $29. Kicking myself for not going with my gut feeling—the Shrimp Scampi.

Quaint restaurant. Great service. Food was prepared well and they had a nice selection of food with a small menu. The bartender made great drinks! The food was over priced. This dish was 36$. It was probably four oz of fish. And two pieces of broccolini. The baked potato my boyfriend ordered was sitting for too long and was brown. His steak was huge. He really enjoyed that dish.

Great friendly service. Great tasting food. Can tell they use good quality ingredients. Will definitely be back. Guava mimosa off the hook.

One of the best eatery in Virgin Islands. Awarded best by almost everyone... Including TripAdvisor. Taste is soo soo goood. Shepherd's pie/ Steak Diane / Pasta Rasta select sides, add dressings and you done. They got many more plates... definately worth visiting. Service is good, public is good. It is always full so better you book a table early. Enjoy your time and food!!!

My bf and I came here for brunch. We were seated outside. I ordered the Healthy Banana Split while my bf got the Vodoo Shrimp & Grits. Both orders were pretty good. I'd definitely go back again if I get another chance to try other items on their menu. On a random note, I loved watching the chickens roam around while we ate.

Amazing food! This place is tucked away on a side street, off the boardwalk that looks like a set from Pirates of the Caribbean! The food is the best we had in Christiansted, you won't be disappointed!
