One of the world's most beautiful beaches — calm, mile-long, family-friendly. Grab a chair, swim, and grab a bite at the beach bar. Go early on busy ship days to beat the crowd. Small entrance fee.
One of the best snorkeling spots on the island, right next to Coral World Ocean Park. Colorful reef fish, sea turtles, and clear water. Equipment rental on site. A bit crowded on big ship days but still excellent.

Consistently ranked among the world's best beaches. National Park beach with an underwater snorkel trail, lifeguards, restrooms, and a snack bar. Beautiful but busy on ship days — arrive as early as possible.
Less crowded than Trunk Bay with equally stunning scenery. The North Shore road passes several beautiful coves — Hawksnest, Gibney, and Maho Bay (known for sea turtle sightings right from shore). Rent a jeep in Cruz Bay for maximum flexibility.
Cruz Bay is a walkable, charming little town with great restaurants, boutique shops, and a laid-back Caribbean vibe. Grab lunch at one of the waterfront spots, browse the local galleries, and soak it all in before the ferry back.

The closest beach to the Frederiksted pier — a short walk and you're on a calm, lovely stretch of sand with a beach bar, chairs, and calm water. Great snorkeling right off the beach. Perfect if you want a relaxed beach day without the taxi.
A National Monument and one of the finest snorkel sites in the Caribbean. Charter boats depart from Christiansted for this half-day adventure through an underwater marked trail in a pristine coral reef. Book in advance — charters fill fast on ship days.
Christiansted's well-preserved Danish colonial waterfront is one of the most charming towns in the Caribbean. Visit Fort Christiansvaern, browse the boardwalk, grab lunch at a local restaurant, and explore the boutique shops along the harbor.
