Wonderful Sandy beach sharp drop of from the top of beach to water can be difficult to get out of the water but with practice you get used to it. very pretty and far enough from the pier not to bother you. Closed during turtle nesting season as this is a big nesting area.Warm water sandy bottom take a cooler food and trash bag to make sure you take out what you brought in

My favorite beach on the island. Unfortunately since it is a national park it's only open during the weekends from 10 to 4, so do plan accordingly. Also for the same reasons, it's not an organized beach so if you're going to stay long bring snacks, water, and something for shade, but nothing that you stick in the sand as it is not allowed because it's a turtle nesting area.

This is a gorgeous beach! It's a must see! One of my most favorite beaches on St Croix! Not good for snorkeling, but it is sandy for swimming and relaxing!

Sandy Point is one of the best beach in the Caribbean, in fact it is rated #1 in St. Croix and #5 in the Caribbean. It has fine, white, golden sand and sparkling clear, calm water with sand bottom. Be aware that the water is high at shore. The down side is that they open it only on Saturdays/Sundays and cruise ship days. When I asked why I was told because it is a turtle sanctuary. Turtle do not know the difference between weekends and weekdays, so they should open it also one day mid week because people who come to St. Croix for a week often do not know and end up having to miss seeing it. It is completely closed from May to November when turtle nest. There are no facilities. They do not even provide a portable. To get there, after you pass the gate you need to drive off road for a while but it is easy.

This is an absolutely stunning beach. From what I have seen of the beaches of St Croix, they are usually fairly narrow, a bit short, and studded with coral. Sandy Point beach on the other hand is spectacular. It is wide and long and, surprisingly enough, usually pretty empty. You should know though that there is nothing here. No bathrooms, no beach bars, no restaurants. Nothing. Also, it is only open on weekends when cruise ships are visiting and only certain times of the year (turtles nest there the rest of time).One last piece of information, though its in St Croix and not Zihuatanejo, Mexico, this is where they filmed the last scene from Shawshank Redemption.

Loved the beach! Very clear and warm water, would deffinetly come back. One of the nicer beaches here, and if you're in luck you may see sea turtles.

Watch the movie and visit the beach - both take some figuring out - It is way worth it! Careful, the surf can be rough.

beach was ok, nothing special, big waves and water visibility was not good at all. not that many people the day we went, so u have feeling like you are on your own beach.

We went hoping to see some awesome sea life and relax. Rain cut our trip short but it was a nice beach.

We were lucky that a cruise ship was in town on a Saturday, so it was open. As mentioned, there is NO shade or facilities, so bring your own everything. Lots of beautiful sand. If the Leatherback turtles are nesting, I would definitely volunteer to help with the protecting the nests and young. Would be amazing experience as these creatures can be HUGE.
