Review & FAQ:
Located on the West End of the island, Sandy Point is regarded as one of the best beaches on Str. Croix. You can expect to find a 2-mile swath of powder white sand surrounded by gently-lapping azure water.
Because it is a Wildlife Refuge and a turtle breeding ground, the beach is only open to the public on weekends or when a cruise ship is in port. However, it is completely off-limits to everyone for 4 months from April to August to protect the turtles during their nesting time. Snorkeling is limited but you may catch sight of a turtle or stingray in the water. You can go hiking through the refuge to see a variety of birds – be sure to bring binoculars and a camera.
