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 [...]

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.

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 [...]
