About Frederiksted

Frederiksted, known as "Freedom City," is the western gateway to St. Croix. The town is notable for its Victorian architecture and historical significance as the site where the emancipation of slaves was proclaimed in 1848.

The town's most prominent landmark is Fort Frederik, built in the 1750s to protect against pirates and colonial rivals. Frederiksted serves as a secondary cruise port for Saint Croix and features the longest pier in the Virgin Islands. The town's Historic District includes several significant buildings such as the Customs House and the old Lutheran Church. The nearby Sandy Point National Wildlife Refuge, the largest beach in the U.S. Virgin Islands, serves as a nesting ground for endangered leatherback turtles.
