Best Beaches in St. Croix USVI: Beach #7
The 7th beach in our list of the Top 10 Best Beaches in St. Croix USVI is Rainbow Beach.
Rainbow Beach St. Croix USVI is located on the West End of St Croix closer to Frederiksted. The water is very calm and the powdery sand is white and beautiful. Rainbow Beach is Frederiksted’s most famous beach, with a lot of recreational activities. It's a favorite for tourists and locals alike and a great place to try out water sports in St. Croix. You'll find good scuba diving, snorkeling, paddle boarding, and jet skiing.
You can expect the small stretch of sand to get busier on the weekends as islanders flock to the shores to share food, laughs, and sunshine after a long week or work.
Swimming there is great too because there's lots of sandy bottoms and very gentle waves. It's also one of the best places to watch a sunset in St. Croix.
The snorkeling at Rainbow Beach is super. You'll see lots of amazing sea life and the water stays shallow for a long distance. There are also bathroom facilities and a fun beach bar & restaurant called Rhythms. So if you’re coming to St. Croix in 2023 and want a great combination of sucking up some rays and then downing some great drinks, it’s hard to beat Rainbow Beach.
