National Historic Park and Ecological Preserve
Salt River Bay is a living museum on St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. It is a dynamic, tropical ecosystem with Prehistoric and colonial-era archeological sites and ruins. It is home to some of the largest mangrove forests in the Virgin Islands as well as coral reefs and a submarine canyon. Experience the beauty, sanctity and spirit of this place.
bioluminescent bays
Salt River Bay National Historical Park is one of two sites on the island you can visit a bioluminescent bay. A second bio bay can be found at Altoona Lagoon. Bio bays are extremely rare with only seven year-round lagoons being known to exist in the Caribbean. Tour operators can arrange a see-through kayak trip to shallow waters allowing one to see the various marine life swimming and agitating the water, lighting it up. The bio bay at Salt River is also home to a second form of bioluminescent creature called comb-jellies, which are not found at Altona Lagoon. A third bioluminescent organism, also found in Salt River, is a species of marine fireworm that performs its brilliant green mating ritual within 57 hours after the full moon, females rising to the surface and leaving a luminescent green puddle for the males to race through, fertilizing the eggs.

How to get from STX Airport to our hotel
There is a taxi stand in the baggage claim area. You can't miss it! Just tell the dispatcher that you want to go out to Club Comanche. The ride is about $36 one way + $2-4 for each large bag. CASH ONLY (no credit cards)! Unfortunately we do not have ride-share in the USVI like Uber or Lyft as it is prohibited.

Scuba Diving
Are you looking to do some scuba diving while here in the Amazing Virgin Islands? Look up Dive Experience which is located just steps from our hotel. The owner Michelle will hook you up with a good deal and safe, reliable service. She is a Women's Hall of Fame diver and knows her stuff! Just be sure to mention that you were referred by me here at Club Comanche when speaking with her.

Parking
Parking is difficult here in downtown Christiansted. The streets are narrow and there are some parking time restrictions. There is no parking directly in front of the hotel. Most guests will choose to park 3 block away in the "Government" parking lot down on Strand and King Cross Streets. It's about $5 a day. That being said, I just suggest taking a taxi from the airport to the hotel. Then when you need a car for the day, just rent one for the day from Centerline Car Rental which has a location right on the Boardwalk. That way you don't have to mess around with parking!
