I had a lot of fun planning my trip to St Croix to cover these beaches near Christiansted. I was definitely spoiled for choice. In fact, this article (and my trip) ended up twice as long as I originally planned. I only included beaches that are 10 minutes or less from Christiansted. Let's dive in (pun intended).
Best Beaches near Christiansted, St Croix:
Best for the whole family: Buccaneer Beach - This beach is easy to get to and family friendly.
Large and Secluded: Shoys Beach - 10 minutes from Christiansted - It’s a secret spot to unwind and get away from it all.
Protestant Cay - 2-minute ferry ride from Christiansted - Take a quick ferry ride to find this bustling beach.
Pelican Cove Beach - 10-minute drive west - Go here for great snorkeling (and take a nap after).
