Looking for St. Croix beaches? You’ll find many gorgeous beaches to choose from. Most have very few people except on weekends when the locals arrive to relax, swim and have cookouts. Some have palm trees for shade and other will require you to load up on sunscreen. All St. Croix beaches are supposed to be available to the public but some resorts make it difficult.

The only beach that’s closed part of the year is Sandy Point Beach for turtle nesting.
