Sprat Hall

Sprat Hall Beach is located on the West End of St. Croix just outside the town of Frederiksted, across from the Sprat Hall Plantation and north of Rainbow beach. The beach here is a bit rocky, but that combined with the calm water does make for good snorkeling. The water here is generally calm, so this also a good spot for swimming.  Or, you have one mile of beach to walk along while the sunsets beside you. There are no facilities on Sprat Hall Beach, so bring your own chair and sun protection if you want to spend the day.

Frederiksted Pier

The Frederiksted Pier on St. Croix is iconic, and serves many purposes. It’s the only cruise ship port on St. Croix, it’s a world reknown macro-dive site, has great snorkeling too. Exercise or take a romantic stroll and enjoy the unobstructed views of the sunset. The Pier is often a gathering place for local fisherman to cast a line, and is also the perfect place to jump off into the deep water below. Use the ladder to climb back up and …. do it again!
