Fort Frederik
About
Fort Frederik, on St. Croix, stands in Frederiksted, at the western end of the island.
First-time visitors should expect a museum housed in a historic coastal fortification, with the venue's own page at https://www.nps.gov/places/fort-frederiksted-usvi.htm carrying the official information. A 4.3 out of 5 average from 309 reviews reflects steady visitor traffic. Christiansted lies across the island to the east along the main road, while Salt River Bay, Cane Bay and Rainbow Beach sit along the north shore. Sandy Point, Buck Island and Davis Bay are reached by boat or a longer drive.
Frederiksted faces the Caribbean on the island's western shore, and the fort's position near the waterfront puts it within walking distance of the town centre.
Caribbean temperatures stay warm all year, rarely dropping below the low twenties Celsius, and the dry season from December to May brings lower rainfall and steady trade winds. Carnival parades are held across the Caribbean, some before Lent and others in the summer months.
