Eastern most point of the island. Panoramic sea views, a nice scenic drive, and great breezes. Perfect for sunset/sunrise views

Visit the most eastern point of America, particularly enjoyable at sunrise.

This is a great adventure and fairly easy drive in your rental car. While you are here on St. Croix, I recommend that you take the very scenic drive all the way up to Point Udall at the far East End of the St. island – as far as you can go. Point Udall offers stunning panoramic sea views, and is the easternmost point of the United States. Home to the Millennium Monument, this tranquil point is must on any St. Croix ‘to do’ list. As you drive the winding road that leads to Point Udall, you will see that the arid climate on the East End of St. Croix hosts a variety of cactus and desert-like foliage in stark contrast to the turquoise waters of the Caribbean. You can look up towards the south and see Goat Hill rising above the road, and you can look out across the Caribbean Sea to Buck Island to the north. As you reach Point Udall, named for former Secretary of the Interior, Stuart Udall, the Millennium Monument comes into view right in front of you. The Millennium Monument was designed by Bill Rich and erected in 2000 to commemorate the beginning of a new millennium for the United States. The monument is a giant sundial which is fitting since Point Udall is the first place the sun rises on U.S. soil. In fact, special ceremonies were held at Point Udall as the sun rose on the most easternmost of American soils in the western hemisphere on the first day of the new millennium, January 1, 2000. There is a huge sign denoting Point Udall on the retaining wall at the base of the monument that makes for a great photo op, so don’t miss it!
