Where’s the Beaches?

Where’s the Beaches?

(PLEASE NOTE) All beaches in the USVI are open to the public although access through private property and hotels may have restrictions.

Buck Island Reef National Monument: The National Park Service has operated Buck Island Reef as a National Park since 1961. Underwater trail, two beaches, two picnic areas, snorkeling, shade, hiking trail, limited facilities. Seven miles East of Christiansted, use authorized National Park Service concessionaires. www.nps.gov/BUIS.

Cane Bay, located on North Shore Road RT. 80 offers a wide, white sandy beach with moderate surf, great diving and snorkeling. Restaurants nearby make this area a great place to hang out and sunbathe. Great snorkeling relatively shallow and nice for swimming. Diving’s famous “Wall” is located here. Sweet Bottom Dive Center and The Landing Beach Bar to serve you!

Jack’s & Isaacs Bays on the South-east end and are a long hike to excellent long sandy beaches and easy snorkeling. Adventurous and remote, but well worth the trek for the seclusion! Don’t drive down to these beaches! It’s too steep and you won’t get out

Frederiksted Beach is just North of Frederiksted on Rt. 63. The West coast is the sport to watch the sunset with long stretches of clean white sand and good snorkeling. The West end is known for being the Sunday local hang out for kayaking and jet ski’s.

Three large resorts anchor St. Croix. Though none of the resorts are huge, each has great beaches with watersports and restaurants. Golf courses around the islands near these resorts challenge the most worldly Traveller.

Dorsh Beach, a local favorite, on Rt. 71 South of Frederiksted On the right, just before Sandcastle on the Beach Hotel and Beach of Side Cafe, is a wonderfully convenient beach offers wide white sandy beaches and good snorkeling, Cottages by the Sea & the Beach Side Cafe are nearby, and the beach is a great place for kayaking, snorkeling and sunbathing.

Sandy Point: Located on St. Croix’s West End, this spectacular beach is part of Sandy Point National Wildlife Refuge and is one longest in the Caribbean! Whitest, softest sand on the island. It is a bird and wildlife habitat where hundreds of Leatherback turtles’ nest and hatch every spring. so, access is restricted to Cruise Ship Saturday and Sunday 10am-4pm and is closed April-Sept. This beach is well worth the effort getting to.

Buck Island Beach is a short boat ride to the best snorkeling with the only underwater trail in a National Park. West beach is relatively quiet during the week with a large local flotilla on weekends.

Chenay Bay Beach on the East end has a long, gentle beach perfect for a long walk and calm enough for a paddle board or kayak trip beach hangout. Green Cay sits in the middle of this bay beckoning for a visit around her shore.

For some local color, Salt River Beach on Rt, 801 is a favorite local beach hangout that is sunny and natural. Cramer’s Park Beach Before Point. Udall, on the East End, on RT 82 offers a beautiful long deep white sand beach, bathroom, changing rooms picnic areas and shade.

“Condo row” on Rt. 752 West of Christiansted has wide, sandy beaches. dotted with volleyball nets and restaurants. Great for sunbathing and relaxing, walking or running.

Protestant Cay in Christiansted Harbor is home to a hotel and restaurant. Catch a short ferry ride directly in front of Fort Christiansvaem to this quaint little island located in the middle of the harbor.

West End Beaches located on Rt 63 & Rt 71, were restaurants, hammocks and beach chairs invite…. these are the perfect beaches to hang out at all day, listen to live music and then enjoy a sunset.

Reef Beach: Right next to Duggan’s Reef Restaurant on the East End nice slip-of-a-beach. With a very gradual decline, the beach is perfect for the windsurfing or for swimming with small children. The Reef Gold Course is across the Street.

Shoy Beach: Deep and lush. this beach is located inside the entrance to The Buccaneer Hotel: the guard gate attendant to the right will let you through. Park at the end of the road. No facilities; some shade trees. A local favorite.

Columbus Landing: Christopher Columbus landed here on St. Croix in 1493 at the site of Salt River Bay. Take the road to the left of Salt River Marina. Minimal facilities. Managed by the Territorial State Historic. Preservation Office (DPNR) and is within the boundaries of the National Historical Park and Ecological Preserve. www.nps.gov/SARI.
