The Boardwalk, Christiansted
Stretching along the edge of Christiansted Harbor, the Boardwalk is one of the most welcoming places to experience the relaxed spirit of Saint Croix. This wooden promenade runs beside clear turquoise waters, offering sweeping views of anchored sailboats, colorful historic buildings, and the small island of Protestant Cay just offshore. It’s a favorite spot for both locals and visitors, whether for a peaceful stroll in the day’s warmth or an evening spent soaking in the harbor breeze. The setting perfectly captures the charm of the Virgin Islands, combining seaside beauty with the energy of a bustling town.
The Boardwalk is lined with lively bars, casual eateries, and open-air restaurants, each with inviting outdoor seating overlooking the water. Visitors can savor freshly caught seafood, enjoy a cold rum punch, or embark on a laid-back pub crawl while the waves lap against the shore. By night, the atmosphere transforms as live music drifts through the air, laughter spills from tables, and the entire waterfront glows with a festive island spirit. During the day, local vendors often set up stalls along the walkway, selling handmade crafts and souvenirs that add a personal touch to the experience.
More than a dining and nightlife hub, the Boardwalk also serves as a gateway to adventure. From its docks, guests can embark on boat charters, scuba diving trips, or fishing excursions, while ferries shuttle travelers to the sandy beaches of Protestant Cay. Many visitors find that a simple walk along the Boardwalk easily turns into a day filled with activity, relaxation, and discovery. With its mix of cultural flavor, scenic views, and easygoing charm, Christiansted’s Boardwalk is a highlight of any trip to Saint Croix.
