We are happy to report that the sun is still shining and St. Croix is still beautiful as ever! Although times are tough and there is plenty to worry about, we can assure you that as soon as things get back to “normal” we will be here to welcome you with open arms.
When you are able to visit St. Croix again for your family vacation or your couple’s getaway, we encourage you to support businesses who are hurting right now, businesses that are essential to making St. Croix, St. Croix!
Please keep in mind that you can still give many of them a call. Something as small as purchasing a gift certificate for future use is a great way to show some love. These types of gestures make all the difference right now! Even supporting a business virtually and purchasing items online if possible is a great way to help. Make sure to check out their websites and see what you can do.
We’ve compiled a list of activities and businesses who have had to temporarily stop in person activities due to Covid19. They will need your support more than ever once they resume their regular business hours.
