One of the good things about staying in Frederiksted is if you want to see Point Udall, is you must drive the length of the island, I'm glad we did. It is not a bad drive and very picturesque. The west end of the island is very tropical, rain forest and all, but as you drive east, you slowly you... More

Worth the drive to the east end if you have time this spot is unreal. We took a group of 7 and spent sunset taking pictures of Isaac bay and beyond. Not much to the eastern most point of the is but spent a few hrs hiking around, enjoying the sights and sipping cruzan. Pretty cool that you pass by... More

Point Udall on the lovely island of St. Croix, United States Virgin Islands is probably one of the best kept secrets in the United States. You will never in your life find a more breathtaking view of the big blue ocean than right here on Point Udall. At least not while standing on land! Here you feel like your standing... More

This monument is located on the farthest possible point on the East end. It provides excellent views down the coastline, including Buck Island, and wonderful picture opportunities. If you are in the area, definitely check it out. Hiking to Issac's and Jack's Bay would make it more of an all around worth while trip if you are not already in... More

St. Croix is not a particularly large island (28 miles from one end to the other), so we were easily able to include a stop here after spending some time earlier in the day on the western side. The point itself is probably worth seeing not so much because it allows you say claim you DID see the extreme eastern... More

My husband and I went during the afternoon and it was disappointing. I think maybe if we had gone during sunrise or sunset, we may have liked it more. We stayed very close to the site, so it was only a short drive. The road was paved in the last year, so our little rental Yaris had no problem making... More

This place was alright I guess. If I went back I'd rather explore more of St. Croix's heartland than the coast though. More

OK, I was born on St Croix in the 50s and so grew up going to what is now Point Udall. I have been at all hours of the day and night but the dawn is my favorite. To me there is something magical about watching the sunrise over the sea, watching and hearing the birds and other animals wake... More

We stopped off at this site for a brief moment... and that's all it took. Backback and wallet stolen. No cell service up there so took awhile to call 911. We attempted to follow but we turned a different way at the split. Police said they pulled a car over matching the description, but the accomplice must have left the... More
