Best Beaches on St. Croix

There is nothing in world like being at the Beach in St. Croix. When I was young I remember every Sunday after church my mother would cook food and we would go to beach like Cramer’s Park or Choy’s depending on how far you want to drive or where friends preferred to meet. Those were the best of times. Every group had their boom box, shades (sun glasses) and a towel. You could smell the Johnny Cake and fried chicken in the air. “Wash it down with a Vita Malt or beer naah! Its the simple God given things in life that are most pleasurable. Please cherish and take care of it.

Before we go any further,,, I heard All beaches close at 4:00pm

The US Virgin Islands is known for its beaches and St. Croix is no exception. In addition to all the island has to offer, the beaches are are very unique to each other depending on how you choose to line (hang out).

Choy’s beach is a great hidden beach located just outside of Christiansted going east and centerline next to the Buccaneer golf resort. Its a great beach good for family and young kids. Its quiet but has not restroom facilities. its one of those beaches you can go to during lunch break for a quick nap or swim during the day. It is so convenient since its only a 45 minute drive Downtown Christiansted.

Haypenny beach is small but fairly quiet beach located on the way to east end. Great for dog walking or if you have a pet horse. The sand is not a grainy as some beaches, but if you want some seclusion, and taking in some sun, this is the beach for you. There are no restroom facilities. I would not call it an ideal for swimming. There can be different water ranging from
clear to slightly murky at various points along the beach

Cramer’s Park is a public beach where locals hang out on Sundays. Located in East End, this beach is on the very east side of the island. This one of the many family friendly beaches that has restrooms. You can grill and bring your own music. It does get crowded on the weekend so go early to get your perfect spot

Fredricksted Public Beach is located in Fredericksted. This beach has grainy white sand and is also the beach you can find the best sea glass. It can get really crowded on the weekend. The water is crystal clear and public restrooms are nearby.

Rainbow Beach is a good hangout beach located in Fredericksted with a restaurant practically on the beach. It has white sands with volleyball net and it can get really crowded on the weekends. A variety of music can be heard and restrooms are available.

Sandy Point is a clear water beach with with sands that extend around the south western tip of the island. Public parking parking is available but there are no restrooms and the crowds may vary based on the time of day and season. The beach is closed at certain times of year during the turtle nesting season. During this time Leather Back turtles lay their eggs on the its sandy shores.
