Review:
This interesting beach is located 3 miles north of Fredericksted and is usually quite deserted. The beach is rocky and not really suited to sunbathing, but it does offer interesting snorkeling all along the edge of the rocks. If you are up for a bit of a hike you can walk all the way to the northern end of the beach to find the Monk’s Bath Tidal Pools.
Legend has it that the pools were used by monks as a religious retreat, but in reality, the pools were man-made. There are no facilities at this beach so you will need to bring in (and carry out) everything you need including water and snacks.
