Cane Bay Beach

This is a nice beach on the island's North Shore. Parking here can get pretty tight. There is no designated lot. I had to find a spot on the side of the road. The beach has chair rentals and a boat ramp, but I am not sure if the ramp is operational. It is not a very large beach. I would say it is between a quarter to a half of a mile long. It has white sand and beautiful warm blue water. In addition to sitting out in the sun, you can snorkle, scuba dive or equus horseback ride (ride a horse in the water). They tout scuba divers being able to dive the world famous Wall, which is an area about 150 yards from the shore the depth goes from 35 feet to over 3,000 feet. The beach has access to some nice waterside bar and grills such as Leatherback Landing and Spratnet Beach Bar & Grill. On weekend they have a band out there that jams. Speaking of weekends. This beach can get a bit crowded. While I was there, there was a a large gathering of locals having a good old picnic. It looked like they were having a great time. This is one of the few designated beaches on the North Shore. It is a very low key and laid back place. It is a great time for all. I recommend checking this beach out, doing some of their fun activities and getting a good bite to eat and a savory tropical drink.

What a great STX beach!!! It is in front of Sweet Bottom Dive Shop which is awesome. Great people. There's also The Landing restaurant which is one of our favorites on island! The sand is nice. Great for snorkeling and even better for diving. Walk in, swim out a bit and you are at a 1000 ft wall. Amazing!

Nice beach. Street parking available. Not too busy early December. Lots of spaces to set up your own chairs, beach towels, etc. Shade available. I didn't see any umbrellas or chairs for rent The water was a little rough, but manageable. I did snorkel finding cute little fish. I did see a sea urchins very close to the shore. I would recommend water shoes at this beach. Right across the street, you can get some good food and drinks.

While I was in St. Croix a couple months ago, this was on a lot of lists of 'Places to See' in St. Croix so I naturally had to go. It was a really nice beach. I did half of my dives here and the sealife was awesome to see. The 'Eat at Cane Bay' restaurant was pretty good too. Overall, the beach was great and the location was great as well.

Saw lots of turtles, fish, sting ray and even a shark. Snorkeling was easy and fun. Very clean.

Small beach. Nice water and decent snorkeling. We didn't dive or eat/drink at the nearby bars. We had a nice afternoon there nonetheless. It wasn't crowded at all. I'm sure we will be back.

Amazing spot to hang at the beach. The food and drinks at the bar were great and the crowd fun.

I will forever remember this place as the one place where I finally ventured out to snorkel without a professional guide next to me. It's been about time, too! In terms of sea life, there isn't much to see unless you to at deep sea diving off of this beach - which is what this place is super popular for, and from what I hear, it's amazing! But for s beginner like me who tends to chicken out in the water very quickly, I saw some beautiful sea anemones, but that's about it. It also didn't help that the sun chose to hide away that morning while I was in the water, lol. The beach itself is a little small, not too many amenities except eat@cane. However, the vibe is awesome, people fun and friendly. Overall, loved my experience here - and of course it will have s special place in my heart!

What an amazing little dive shop with incredible people who work there. All the instructors are just lovely. each with their own badass personality. I didn't dive...but my partner did. He dive twice for $80.... And he had a FANTASTIC. Sometimes you'll see sharks, octopus...amazing fish. And the spot where their located...is perfection. Definitely give them a go.

Awesome beach with dramatic mountain backdrops. Perfect for snorkeling and diving. On Sundays it can get more crowded as there's usually live music. You can rent beach chairs and there's even a neat bar right across the street. Definitely a must see in St. Croix.

Nice snorkeling. We moved to St. Croix last year and have been on a quest to find the best beaches for snorkeling and swimming, not always available at the same place. This beach offers both. It's very pretty, with mountains up and down the coast. Unless you get there on a Sunday afternoon, it usually isn't super crowded. There are a couple of cool food options nearby, Eat Cane Bay and Off the Wall. The water for the most part is clear. The bottom is pretty sandy and further out you've got some nice snorkeling. There's a coral garden being grown and a neat underwater sculpture to check out. I would definitely put this on your list.
