Snorkellers and divers can discover the varied sea life around St Croix. This island also has close to 40 white-sand beaches that offer a mix of experiences. If you want to avoid the crowds, head to one of the beaches near Frederiksted. However, if you don’t mind a busy beach, Colony Cove or Chenay Bay are great options for you.
