Sand Castle

Sand Castle Beach is actually part of Dorsch Beach, but is known for being home of Sand Castle on the Beach Resort and Cottages by the Sea. It is a gorgeous long stretch of beach with some structure for snorkeling. Sand Castle Beach has serenely calm waters, perfect for swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding or snorkeling. Plan to spend the day here, rent some beach chairs and an umbrella for shade and treat yourself to lunch at the beach side restaurant and bar.

Location: West End

Enjoy the calm waters of the scenic West End of St. Croix in resort comfort! This beach is very popular with both locals and visitors. For cruise ship passengers, it’s an easy walk or short cab ride from the cruise ship pier.
