St. Croix Sea Turtle Letterbox

Planted March 5, 2002

All the beaches in the Virgin Islands are open to the public. This
letterbox is at the Carambola Resort, along the North Shore Road on
the northern end of the Island.

The beaches at the Carambola Resort (and indeed much of the beach
area of St. Croix) are sea turtle nesting habitats. Three species of
endangered sea turtle nest on the beaches of Carambola: the
leatherback, the hawksbill and the green turtle.

For your Sea Turtle stamp imprint go to the Carambola Resort. (Not
the golf course!) Just before you reach the guardhouse, there is
public beach access parking on your left. Park here (if you are not
staying at the Carambola Resort). Follow the signs for the Public
Beach Access. This will take you down some stairs and you will come
to 3 poles in front of Flammable Gas. From the 3rd pole take 30
steps. On your right will be a large piece of Brain Coral underneath
a palm tree. The Letterbox is underneath this piece of Coral.

PS--to those of you who know what my stamps look like--
This is a much improved piece of carving! And it is well worth a
trip to the Virgin Islands to pick up this stamp imprint :-)
