St. Croix Beach Travel Tips

By Linda Samuel

  • Keep your clothes on—public nudity is prohibited in the Virgin Islands.
  • Grab a drink at the bar across from Cane Bay Beach. Shady trees, excellent snorkeling and diving, and restroom facilities make this spot the most popular on the island.
  • Carry cash. While Saint Croix's beaches are public, neighboring hotels may charge a small fee for use of resort facilities.
  • Float over to Buck Island, a top snorkeling spot in Saint Croix. Sign up early and bring a few refreshments for the half-day excursion.


Saint Croix Travel Guide

At 84 square miles, St. Croix is the largest of the U.S. Virgin Islands. At the east end—which actually is the easternmost point of the United States—the terrain is rocky and arid. The west end is more lush and even includes a small "rain forest" of mango, mahogany, tree ferns, and dangling lianas. Between the two extremes are beautiful beaches, rolling hills, pastures, and, increasingly, miles of condos. Read More
