North Shore Guide
Along St. Croix’s North Shore you will encounter everything from historical parks to horseback riding, diving, great eateries and beautiful beaches. The North Shore is as diverse as it is picturesque. The North Shore of St. Croix is home to ‘The Wall’ (a diving must-see) and beautiful Cane Bay, as well as Salt River Bay (a bioluminescent wonder). North Shore also offers the breathtaking Annaly Tidepools, a lush and beautiful championship golf course and the historic Columbus Landing. Diverse sea-life abounds off the North Shore due to the pristine reefs, warm waters and close proximity of the Puerto Rico Trench (which reaches depths more than 5 miles, or 26,000 feet), so watch for sea turtles, dolphins and, if you’re lucky, humpback whales migrating by! Enjoy all that the North Shore has to offer, especially the views!
