Point Udall

Great views of the easternmost place in the United States. It's a bit of a hike to get over there, but there are some great scenic overlook locations. Not too much to see once you get to the actual monument, but still a cool place to visit.

The drive out to the Eastern most point in the United States of America was pleasant. No issues once there. The views from the point are breathtaking! Anyone who enjoys historical landmarks shut enjoy!

Came here mid day, middle of the night, and for sunrise. It's worth visiting for sure, especially for sunrise. Make sure you're there 30 minutes before scheduled sunrise and stay until you see the sun for the full effect. It was also really cool at night with the stars. The structure itself is OK. Some graffiti on it. But the landscape views are what you really go for

Awesome site to see on the East edge of the island. Beautiful country drive, narrow roads with overgrown brush so drive safe. Allow time to hike the Jack & Isaac Bay Preserve trail. There are many turnoffs to stop and take pictures.

Exceptional place to visit, absolutely stunning views. Easternmost point of the United States. Beware of the sand flies...they bite...bring nug spray or wear long sleeves and pants....and sunglasses.

This is such a cool spot to go to. The views are unreal, and astonishing. We drove from Frederiksted which took roughly 40 minutes. The roads were great, and the drive was pretty easy. Once you get close on the mountain road, it gets narrow, so slow down because it is still two way traffic. I'm not a hilker, and don't care for heights so honestly, I was a little nervous, but it was so worth the drive! Once you get to the top you have 360 degree ethereal views. Beautiful and perfect spot for pictures.

went for the sunrise, it was great, make sure to get there 30 minutes before sunrise the sky looks amazing then

The Eastern most point of the US territories. Great place to see the sunrise! Remember to arrive at least 30 mins before the stated sunrise time to enjoy the beautiful and colorful transformation of the horizon sky!

This was a beautiful scenic drive and location is a must visit if you come to St. Croix take the time to enjoy the beautiful water and scenery around you along with the millennial sundial. My wife and I absolutely enjoyed being here and there is some really great photo opportunities. Glad we made the trip over here. There was not a long drive and is very accessible regardless of your vehicle.

Once you find it, this place is fantastic. There are no signs to help you get there and Google Maps stopped working when we were about halfway there. We circled the general area before finally finding it. When we arrived, there was no one else visiting but soon our VRBO neighbors arrived. The views from here are great. Other than that it is the joy of being able to say you've been to the easternmost point in the U.S. We decided to take the hike down the nearby trail. It was not too hard and gave a chance to view Point Udall from another angle. It is definitely in the middle of nowhere and hard to find but worth seeing.

This place has the distinction of being the easternmost point of the US, if you are counting territories. It is about a 30 minute drive from Christiansted, the island's main tourist city. Be careful, you have to take a very windy road to get here. The site is named after Stewart Udall, United States Secretary of the Interior, in 1969, for his support of the Island's economy. It is marked by a large monument, the Millennium Monument, and provides access to some very exclusive beaches. You will have to do some work to get down to them and twice as much work to get up from them. I was not feeling adventurous during my visit so I stayed up top. There are some benches up there and some very spectacular views. There is no designated parking there so I just parked in the circle surrounding the monument, like all the all the visitors that were there did. It is pretty up there. I spent about 30 minutes there and then I was back on the road. This place is a nice stop for attraction hunters, anti-social beach goers that can descend and climb moderate trails, or someone looking for an amazing view. I found this place more enjoyable than I expected and was able to check off another bucket list item and put another piece of useless trivia in my back pocket.

One of the top points of interest to see in USVI St Croix. As you make the windy road trip to the top you can park and see the man made sun dial. Weather was clear and we were able to view Buck Island which is another spectacular point of interest in STX. We drove from North Shore which was about 30 minutes and the views up to Point Udall were also stunning. This is a must see landmark on the island.

Point Udall is at the east end of St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands. It is the easternmost point of the United States including insular areas. It was named in 1969 for Stewart Udall, United States Secretary of the Interior under Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson. It's a must see, and I love the inscription on the monument: Inscription. Click to hear the inscription. Since the dawn of consciousness, time has been measured by the movement of the sun. This marker, in the year 2000, is a continuum between all who have come before and all who are yet to come. The design concept starts with the Roman numeral "M"= 1000, "MM"=2000. The stone piers represent the abstraction of the two "M"s crossing at 90 degrees to each other. The alignment of the shadow pole and marker pin designates the azimuth of the sun on January 1, 2000. The shadow of the pole on the true north line designates local noon daily.

This is the easternmost point of the US. I was happy that we were actually staying really close by because we were able to get there quickly, enjoy it, and then go about our day. The view is incredible and worth seeing but it simply doesn't take very long to finish seeing everything. There is a pretty Millennium Monument there but I wish there was a little more information or reading material up there as well (even a map of which other islands we were looking at or what direction they were).

Point Udall is the easternmost point of the United States of America. It is located about a half hour east of Christiansted at the very end of Rte 82. The ACTUAL easternmost point is at the bottom of the mountain where the point meets the sea. However, they have built a cool sundial monument called Millennium Monument that commemorated, obviously, the millennium. It was built to commemorate the first azimuth of the sunrise of the millennium when the year turned 2000. Some people thing it's ugly, but I really liked it. From the monument you have amazing views of the ocean and of Buck Island. You can get awesome photos any time, but I hear sunrise is supposed to be awesome and we were there at sunset... beautiful! I've heard warnings that it's a place where thieves lie in wait to break into tourists' cars and I think at one point you had to park down below... maybe you're supposed to, but we drove right up to it, so I wasn't worried about anyone breaking into my car right in front of me. There is a parking lot below the monument a hundred yards or so, but it was not too busy when we were there, until we were leaving and it seemed like people started showing up for the sunset. My husband was a nut and trucked down to the ACTUAL point as we stood at the top of the hill watching him. He was wiped out when he got back up, but it's completely do-able and besides the really cool rocks, there is apparently a beach right around there too if you're up to a hike to get there. Just beware the warnings about the thievery if you're leaving your car. Overall, a great stop, especially for weirdos like me who enjoy hitting all the superlatives in our country!

This is the easternmost point to see the sun rise in the United States, and it is spectacular! It is so worth getting up early, and being there at 6:30 am (day we went, but check online)! This is a must do while visiting St.Croix to start your morning off right!

Well worth the long drive from Fredriksted. It's amazing to cross the many microclimates of the island, and to arrive at this beautiful location. I could have stayed for hours just pondering the vastness and majesty of the oceans.

What a beautiful place to watch the sunrise. Being the most Eastern point in the United States it's almost a must if you're on the island. On top of a ridge over looking the Caribbean Sea it is easily the post beautiful spot on the island. The newly constructed sculpture in 2000 makes it a great opportunity for amazing photos.

One of the most breathtaking views I have ever experience. Please give yourself a minute to just breathe in the beauty of the scenery.

It's a beautiful drive out to Point Udall (about 40 minutes from Christiansted), and you can see the transitions between Caribbean jungle to more Savanah like landscapes. It's rolling green hills, cacti, and reed-like plants, surrounded by the sound of ocean waves and wind. The monument itself is plain but interesting, it truly makes you feel the weight of time and space in its spartan design. You also have views all around Point Udall of the water and land that slopes down to the meet them. There's a hiking trail just before the monument with a little area to park in, on the south side of the road. That hike is more like a stroll, there's a little slope you walk down and then it's just a steady even walk through the bush to an isolated beach (no fishing allowed there, and rough waves, so I would just relax on the sand of that beach). There's giant hermit crabs on the trail and a wide variety of plant species. It's full of majestic views.

We drove east to Point Udall, a monument shaped like 2 M's, that is located on a high peninsula that is the most eastern US territory point. The views of the beach and water below were spectacular!

The other reviewer covered just about everything regarding Point Udall. We were there for the sunrise (gorgeous) and during midday and both times we were the only ones there. It's a great spot for viewing the ocean and for pictures of a fascinating monument. Fair warning, if you look down at one of the beaches, it's a known nudist beach. Our tour guide warned us about it as I was snapping photos, hinting that I shouldn't zoom too much. Great drive out to the point and a nice break from beaches and snorkeling.
