beach day on St. Croix
beach day on St. Croix
Hey all,
We have been to St. John many times over the past 2 decades--Gallows, Westin, various villas...
Our favorite beaches are Cinnamon, Hawksnest (married there many years ago) and Trunk (on a non cruise ship day!)
We find ourselves coming up on a cruise which includes St. Croix. I've always wanted to go there and see if it could be a new getaway for us. We are traveling with our 7 year old. Can someone suggest a beach that would be similar, but not too hard to get to from the cruise stop? Ease of access and a crunchy vibe would totally trump chairs and a resort atmosphere. (Although one small bar would be highly appreciated!
) Does anyone have a suggestion? This is December travel.

LOVE st croix
The cruise ship pier is in Fredricksted. There are a couple popular beaches on the west end, not far at all from the pier. Rainbow beach will be busy with ship people, it’s within sight of the ship, and has a nice bar & grill. Another area popular with cruise ship people is Sandcastle, where a small ‘resort’ is located.
The most similar to Cinnamon and Trunk in my opinion would be Cane Bay, although it’s a little further away from the pier on the north shore. There’s a dive shop, with rentals if needed, and a couple of beach bars.
Enjoy St. Croix! We’ve been visiting there for the past couple of years after sampling the Caribbean on cruises.
