Best St. Croix Beaches: #2 Jack's Bay Beach

Continuing on our series of the best beaches in St. Croix USVI, coming in #2 is Jack's Bay Beach.

You have to hike to reach Jack and Isaac’s Bay St. Croix, but trust us, it is worth the effort. fIou need to drive to the East End, park your car on the side of the road near Point Udall, and then walk down the dirt road on the right. The first beach which you’ll reach is Isaacs Bay Beach USVI.  You then continue walking over the small peninsula to reach Jack Bay Beach St Croix, and the view will stun you. It looks just like a postcard.  You can arrange to have a guided tour if you’d like.

Keep in mind that due to its location, there are no restaurants or facilities.  So if you’re looking to have lunch, lay on rental beach chairs with beach umbrellas, or go to a beach bar, there are plenty of other beaches that offer that.  

The hike to Jack and Isaac Bays starts at the trailhead near Point Udall, where you will find a small parking lot on your right as you are heading up towards the Millennium Monument. You can park there, but please do not leave valuables in your car. 

The trailhead starts at the parking lot and leads down towards the water. The first beach you reach along the trail is actually at East End Bay. At that point, turn right and head to the west end of East Bay and take the connecting trail west to the beach at Isaac Bay. Once you are at Isaac Bay, you can head to the west end of that beach and take the connecting trail heading west again. After a few minutes of heading west on the trail you will turn left on a side trail to the beach at Jack Bay. There will be a few signs along the way to point you in the right direction. 

The terrain along this hike is considered easy to moderate, and is comprised mostly upland forest, scrub brush, and beaches. The trails are usually clear, and short pants should be okay. Please be aware that there is little to no shade on this hike, so wear sun protection and bring plenty of water.

For sheer natural beauty, we rank Jack and Isaac’s beach as the best beaches in St. Croix USVI. 

So that's the latest for the Best St. Croix Beaches for 2023!
