Cane Bay Beach

Cane Bay Beach is a favorite of St Croix residents and scuba divers! Here you'll find gorgeous North Shore views of the green mountains to the West and a casual, laidback. boho vibe. There are beach bars with walk-up service. I love the beachfront stairs to the bar right across the street at The Landing and the food is great too! Cane Bay also offers incredible shore diving at the world-famous Cane Bay Wall. Scuba divers have just a short 300-yard kick out from shore to the buoy that marks the drop spot. From here it's just a short swim to look over and follow the wall with drops to 1400 feet. It's also an amazing spot to snorkel through the coral gardens offshore. In the [...]

Chenay Bay Beach

A popular spot for locals, families, and tourists Chenay Bay Beach is a lovely spot to spend the afternoon. The main part of the beach runs in front of the resort Bungalows on the Bay (and Beach Bar!). If you want a little more privacy, walk down to the Eastern end. The cove is nice and shallow for kids to play. There are sandy bottom areas easily visible though much of the water is lined with seagrass. This is actually a plus as it means there is great snorkeling where you’ll see some of the largest starfish on the island, rays, sea turtles, and more. There’s also a lovely view of Green Cay right offshore; you can see Buck Island further out. Back to Beaches

Dorsch Beach

Dorsch Beach is one of the most popular St Croix beaches on the West End of the Island. You'll find excellent swimming, snorkeling, and several beach bars at popular beachfront hotels. The white sandy beach spans south of the Frederiksted Pier along the waterfront to Sandy Point. There are several pull-offs where you can park and walk right onto the beach with your beach chairs and cooler. Or opt to enjoy the day "resort-style" and grab a day pass from Sand Castles on the Beach or The Fred to use their chairs and amenities. Spend the day because Dorsch Beach is hands-down one of the absolute best spots to catch the Caribbean sunset and if you're lucky, a green flash!

Frederiksted Beach

Frederiksted Beach aka Fort Frederik Beach is located just North of the Frederiksted Pier in walking distance, Frederiksted Beach is popular on cruise ship days. This is a great spot for swimming and snorkeling - if you're lucky you may even spy seahorses hanging out. Didn't bring your snorkeling gear? No problem! Walk over to our friends at Cane Bay Dive Shop across from the pier and grab some rental gear, sunscreen, sunshirts, hats, and more. There is parking and public restrooms onsite. More parking can be found in the lot just across from Fort Frederik. Return to St Croix Beach Guide

La Grange Beach

A little further up from Frederiksted Beach and before Rainbow Beach you'll find la Grange Beach still in viewing distance of the Frederiksted Pier. You'll see a little pull-off for a few cars on the beachside. There are no facilities, but if you walk up on the beach to the right of the parking lot, you'll find a small sandy area for some beach chairs and shady spots from the trees. This tends to be a quieter spot on weekdays. It's a little rocky, but you'll find sandy spots to get in and some nice snorkeling right off the beach. Return to St Croix Beaches Guide

Monks Bath & Beach

Monk's Bath and Monk's Bath Beach are located on the west end of St Croix in Frederiksted just past Northside Valley. Exploring the shore down to Monk's Bath is a must-do for the more adventurous visitors to St Croix. Finding it is a treasure! There's a little pull-off across from a house along the narrow part of Emancipation Drive. You'll walk down a slope to what is now a nice little beach area with plenty of rocky spots for some snorkeling if you have a little more experience. Bonus, it's a little out of the way, so you'll likely have the spot to yourself or with just a few friends. If you're up for a little adventure, walk along the rocky shoreline (head South towards the [...]

Sandy Point National Wildlife Refuge

Sandy Point is known for soft white sand, great for swimming; good snorkeling if you swim out Sandy Point National Wildlife Refuge is one of the most beautiful and pristine beaches in the Caribbean. This protected wildlife refuge is only accessible from the first weekend in September through the last weekend in March and only on the weekends from 10 am until 4 pm during those months. Why? Sandy Point National Wildlife Refuge is listed as critical nesting habitat for the endangered Leatherback Sea Turtle.  Leatherbacks, hawksbill, and green sea turtles nest there undisturbed and in abundance during the summer months.  Endangered Least Terns (shorebirds) place their eggs in the sand. For this reason, it is closed to the public most of the time and carefully [...]
