"Buck Island Reef National Monument Pristine, untouched and unforgettable:There's no other way to describe this natural park justoff the northeast coast of St. Croix. Walking trails crisscross the expanse through frangipani and tamarind trees and cacti to beautiful beaches. Turtle Bay, on the western side, wows with its magnificent snorkeling; theprotected waters and massive coral reef are home to more than 250 kinds of fish. Admission numbers are limited each day;advance booking is required."

Wonderful National Park, great snorkeling including turtles, black eyed jack, parrot fish, puffer fish, trunk fish, large barracuda, blue tang, needle fish, a huge flounder, extra large conch shells, and a huge carribean lobster. Beautiful sand and water around the island.

Snorkeling the Buck Island National Monument Reef System was an awe-inspiring adventure! The vibrant marine life and crystal-clear waters create an underwater paradise. The coral formations are a mesmerizing kaleidoscope, showcasing the reef's resilience. Snorkeling through schools of tropical fish felt like navigating a living aquarium. The experienced guides ensured a safe and informative experience, pointing out unique species and sharing fascinating insights about the ecosystem. The visibility was exceptional, allowing us to witness the intricate beauty of the underwater world. The Buck Island National Monument Reef System offers a breathtaking and educational snorkeling experience that surpasses expectations. It's a must-visit for nature enthusiasts and anyone seeking a profound connection with the ocean's wonders. Every moment beneath the waves felt like a magical journey into the heart of marine splendor.

One of the best, Pristine Beach that there is. You will need a Boat to get to it. Snorkeling was amazing around the island which has a protected Coral Reef. A Must go if you visit St. Croix!

One of the most amazing beaches I've ever experienced. Soft white sand and warm turquoise water. Really beautiful and romantic. A great place to lay on the sand and get a tan, has spots with shade under trees to enjoy a sandwich. Bring water and food with you. Bring a towel to sit on as well. The beach is long and wide so lots of room for people to lay out. I'd really recommend checking this place out.

National monument, come here only if you can preserve nature. Turtle nests, bird nests, raw nature. Open only during the day. South part has a nice beach and north part has some snorkeling spots. There are some picnic tables but you should carry your garbage away when you are done. Beautiful spot.
