That's how refreshing and appealing it was to the eyes. The sand was so soft and white. It was paradise. Be forewarned as the only way to get to this secluded island is by a boat licensed to come there. You can either come here full or half day and prices range from $75-100. Money well spent. I can't stop raving enough about this beach and island. The beach is called Turtle Beach and the island itself is Buck. It was not crowded and there were only 6 of us on the island. I loved it, and definitely encourage anyone to put this on their bucket list as it has made my top ten beaches of forever and a lifetime! Go!

This is a very solid 4 stars. The water was exceptionally clear when I visited; really outstanding…read moreon this dimension. Density of marine life was good to excellent, especially near the outer part of the reef. Variety was good. Water is fairly shallow. Perhaps five meters at the deepest point that I visited and mostly much less. But the water was also choppy that day, and the coral made navigation a bit tricky in spots, even swimming on the surface. The reef is in recovery mode, with some very healthy looking coral but also lots of dead coral. So, not five stars but still very, very enjoyable. Definitely worth the expense of visiting Buck Island. If you are already on St Croix, this is a must if you like snorkeling. If you are thinking of visiting St Croix for snorkeling, then you should, and you should come here.

This is a park/beach located near Point Udall. It is a somewhat secluded beach that is kind of…read moreretro. The park is surrounded by a janky fence that they lock during non-business hours. It is very raggedy. There are also some bathroom facilities with showers available for use there. In one of the fields, you will find a vacant building that I have no idea what it was used for. There is also currently an area of the park that is enclosed by a fence. The area has cement pads and picnic tables inside the fence. It looks like it is under construction or something, but no one is working on it and there is no equipment or supplies staged near it, There are not designated parking spots, but there is tons of parking available. You just find a spot in the grass and claim it for your car. There were only a few people there while I was there, but I visited on a weekday. I hear that this place can get packed on weekends. The beach is ok. It is very easy to get to and not a far walk from where you would probably park. There is a secluded little shaded spot at the end of the beach and they also have a life guard station. The life guard was hanging in there most of the time. I am not telling him how to do his job, but I would think he would better serve from outside. The beach has marker buoys to tell you have far you should go out and is relatively clean. It was not a lot of people there and it was pretty quiet. The park has a lot of green space and some picnic tables, most of which are busted up. The landscaping is well maintained and groomed. There are a decent number of trees that offer some good shade here. I did not see any picnic shelters. The park is good for snorkeling, play field sports such as soccer, football, or catch, flying a kite, or hitting a ball. They also allow fishing from the shoreline. Some things to keep in mind is that they do not allow smoking on the beach, you cannot take any of the beach's coral and no pets or bottles are allowed. This park has a lot of potential and can be so much better. The Island just needs to invest some money into it. It is so neglected and forgotten. If there was no one there, I would have probably mistook it for being abandoned. All in all, this is a good beach to hang out at and splash around in the water. I like it, mostly for what it was and can be. I would still recomend checking this park out. It is very low key and has a chill vibe.

Anyway, there is a huge Visitors Center up on the hill, but it is closed indefinitely and the road to get up to it is blocked off. The road in has a large spot that floods pretty high after rain so be careful. I was able to make it in, but I did not have much wiggle room. This area is more commonly known as Christopher Columbus Beach or Columbus Landing, because this is the area that Christopher Columbus supposedly landed on his 2nd voyage to the new world in 1493. For the record, I am not a Christopher Columbus fan, but I am a fan of history. It has a cool backstory. This is a very secluded beach, that even though it does not have a designated parking area, there are tons of places to park. The beach is decent, even though there is a lot of caution tape all over the sand for reasons unknown to me. The water is warm though and you are certain to find old conch shells and sea coral, none of which you are allowed to take by law. This is a great picturesque beach, with white sand and palm trees, to visit if you do not want to be around crowds. It is very secluded. I cannot vouch for how safe it is though. My mind started to wonder when I was there by lonesome and a car started rolling in. Well, it is worth a visit, I just highly recommend being careful doing so.

Salt River Bay National Historic Park and Ecological Preserve is an undeveloped National Park area…read more At this time, they only do ranger tours on Thursdays... don't go by what you find on the website as it is not up to date. You can take kayaking tours of the waters with local companies, but to go on your own, the only place you really can easily get to and see is the Columbus Landing site. This is the site of Columbus' 1493 landing and his only actual landing at any US location. Personally, NOT a fan of Columbus, but this beach is freaking gorgeous. If you have a couple of hours to kill at a beach, let me recommend you find your way to the Columbus landing site. Ask at Christiansted if you can't find the directions yourself, but the beach itself is worth the visit. I'll be interested in seeing what they do with the site in the future, but sounds like the funding just is not there. From your car, you can see the beach, but to get down to the beach, one must be able to walk in sand. It's a short walk to the water's edge though. BEAUTIFUL!

Can't wait until we can visit St. Croix again. My one suggestion, when you rent your car for transportation around the island get a 4 wheel drive vehicle as it is a very hilly island! And try the Johnny Cakes at East End Bakery and Deli on the road into town. The grands loved them. Remember you're on an island for vacation, relax and enjoy every experience.

Travis walks you through what awaits you, answers any questions and makes sure everyone is in a life jacket. I had hurt my shoulder so my son paddled and Travis put a tow rope from his kayak to ours and we appreciated it. Once we got to the bioluminescent bay the darkness fell and the magic started. Look up at the star filled sky (where I live they can't be seen very well) and be filled with a sense of wonder. Look down and watch the light show made by nature and your paddle. I used my hands to scoop up the "light" and splash it. If a fish swims by, it's with a streak of light. All the while, Travis is educating, telling jokes and making sure everyone is comfortable and safe. I'm 72 and have never had an experience like this, it filled me with childlike wonder. Be sure to wear things that can get wet and if you want to take photos, a waterproof case. I did neither and my only regret is I didn't get photos.
