St. Croix is the third and largest of the US Virgin Islands, geographically. But in terms of visibility, it's still the little brother of St. John and St. Thomas. That's not its fault. The isle has had a lot of hard luck over the years. In 1972, the island's then-burgeoning tourism sector was set back by a mass shooting at a golf course, when eight employees and visitors were killed and many others injured in what came to be known as the Fountain Valley massacre. Then, in 1989, Hurricane Hugo barreled through, leaving a swath of destruction that's still evidenced by old, derelict, rusting buildings across the island.
