"This three-mile beach, located near Frederiksted at the southwest end of St. Croix, is the longest in the U.S. Virgin Islands . Part of the 380-acre Sandy Point Wildlife Preserve, the beach is an important nesting area for the endangered leatherback turtle. Beach access is via a dirt road, open Saturdays and Sundays. The beach may be closed during turtle-nesting season, from March toAugust, so check with your hotel before you make the trek."

The most beautiful beach on the island. A must see before leaving. Sad it is only opened on the weekends. There's a long dirt road to get to it and limited parking, so come early or come much later. Park closes at 4:00 pm though.

First, massive respect to the people who come here to enjoy our beaches and leave no trace. If you're bringing your dogs to the beach please clean up after them!! This is the most beautiful beach in STX,you will be hard-pressed to find one better. Let's keep it that way so others can enjoy paradise. If you are looking for bars, restaurants, and such this playa is the total opposite. This jewel is a peaceful, serene, natural escape.

If there is one beach you visit in St. Croix, this should be the one. It is only open on weekends during the non hatching season, so plan accordingly. Beautiful soft sand and the crowd is small. The best beach of the trip!!

My favorite beach in the entire world! Stunning. A warm place with no memory where you will want to spend the rest of your life.

Only open on weekends due to the protection of nesting sea turtles. This is a lovely clean beach. It’s a short shaded walk from the very busy parking area. It’s also a National Park, so you can find info about the nesting sea turtles. Do not bring anything that needs to be dug or pushed into the ground such as umbrellas. They are not allowed bc the sea turtle nests can be damaged. Same goes for dogs.

It is a shame that this park with its several beaches is only open on weekends. Sandy Point offers several beautiful, sandy beaches with stunning views and beautiful, aquamarine waters. When we arrived, the beach was mostly empty, but be forewarned that there are no real amenities here. But if you’re looking for a quiet sandy beach with beautiful views and privacy, you can’t beat Sandy Point

This is a turtle sanctuary so it is only open to the public Saturday-Sunday 10 AM to 4 PM except during turtle mating season when it is closed to the public. There are three beaches with small parking lots that fill up quickly and fairly far from anything on St. Croix so they are not crowded and very well maintained because people are expected to help maintain the sanctuary. The water itself is also pristine.
