Review:
Sandy Point National Wildlife Refuge is a two-mile-long wildlife refuge located along the southwestern coastline of St. Croix. The refuge was originally established in 1984 and is maintained by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service as part of the Caribbean Islands National Wildlife Complex. Expansive stretches of sandy beaches are preserved as part of the refuge, forming an important nesting habitat for leatherback turtles. The refuge is also home to the Aklis Archaeological Site, a four-acre archaeological site that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and showcases indigenous artifacts dating back to the year 400 A.D. Hiking, wildlife watching, and photography opportunities are available to visitors during the morning and afternoon hours on weekends, with closure exceptions during peak nesting season.
