Favorite St. Croix Beach Bars
Let’s face it, when you think of vacationing in the Caribbean you imagine yourself with your toes in the sand and a tropical cocktail (or beer) in your hand as you look out over the brilliant blue water. Well, St. Croix has a variety of beach bars that will allow you to make your dreams of sipping a cold drink beachside come true!
On the North Shore…
Lounge on the picturesque beach at Cane Bay, check out the walk-up bar offered by The Landing Beach Bar just across the street from the beach. Or take a break from the sun, rinse off your feet, and enjoy a cocktail and some delicious food at The Landing’s open-air bar overlooking the palm tree lined beach.
On the Christiansted boardwalk…
Okay, it’s not a beach, but if you want to indulge in cocktails overlooking the water then head to Christiansted’s boardwalk. Enjoy cool ocean breezes on the boardwalk as you look out over Christiansted Harbor. Stop into the hopping local favorite RumRunner’s, and don’t forget to stop by the GoToStCroix.com Christiansted Harbor Web Cam located at RumRunner’s Deck Bar and wave hello to your friends and family. Many evenings you can enjoy some live music or crab races at Brew STX or Shupe’s on the Boardwalk, and you can throw your leftovers to the hungry tarpon waiting just off the boardwalk. Want a simple beer without all the frills? Then go to The Mill Boardwalk Bar & Brick Oven Pizza and sit next to the sugar mill while you enjoy a cold one.
On the East End…
If you really want to relax, you can get beachside service with resort amenities at The Buccaneer’s Mermaid Beach. Take your cocktail with you as you enjoy the warm, clear Caribbean water, or grab a lounge chair and relax in the shade of the palm tree lined beach. Or, visit Grapetree Bay Hotel & Villas and get an pool pass for the day so you can enjoy your cocktails poolside with an ocean view.
On the West End…
Visit Beach Side Café at Sand Castle on the Beach Resort to enjoy great drinks with your toes in the sand or floating in the calm turquoise waters. Sand Castle’s is the place to be on days cruise ships are in port, since it is within walking distance (1/2 mile), or a short taxi ride from the Frederiksted Pier.
No matter which direction you are heading, or what kind of vibe you are looking for, St. Croix has a beach bar just waiting for you! So, enjoy the sand between your toes, the sun on your face, and the warm Caribbean waters on your skin all while enjoying a refreshing tropical drink. Ahhh…welcome to America’s Paradise!
