DETAILS
While much of this beach is taken up with Divi Carina Bay Resort, Turner Hole is also located within the St. Croix East End Marine Park.
During certain times of the year, the island and Turner Hole Beach experience large amounts of seaweed, which is unavoidable. The resort staff regularly clean the beach, but the beach cannot be cleaned during turtle nesting season.
