I will be visiting St Thomas in June for the 3rd time and have always taken a day trip to St John.
I've never been to St Croix but would love to visit there on my next vacation. Would like some input on the differences in the two islands. Pros and cons. Any info is appreciated.
Thanks!

St Croix is very different topographically from St Thomas and St John - much flatter, more pastoral and with "longer" beaches than the typical smaller coves on STT/STJ. The only way to get there from here is by air (it's 40 nautical miles away) and you can check fares on Seaborne and Cape Air.

STX does not have the proximity to access the BVI and St. John for day trips, if so inclined, it's a larger, flatter island and distances are greater to travel to get from one side to the other.
