Long Reef Beach, sometimes called ‘Sugar Beach’ is located between Mill Harbour Condominiums and Club St. Croix on the North Shore of St. Croix. Enjoy food and drinks at the bar and restaurant, lounge on a chair underneath a palm tree, or relax in one of the hammocks. The water can be somewhat murky here. It is protected by a large reef and if you walk down the beach, it is somewhat shallower. You will find little pools of water, which are great to lay in. The beach offers excellent snorkeling at ‘Tire Reef’ and ‘Long Reef’ directly in front of Mill Harbour. If you’re looking for peace and quiet, this is a good beach to go to as it is typically not too crowded, and there is plenty of parking.
