Those feeling a little more adventurous can rent one of the kayaks, windsurfers, and sailboats.

    Delicious beach with crystal clear water and plamer and shrubs which provide nice shade. Nice view of Christiansted.

    Wonderful beach located adjacent to Christiansted. Easy to get there and cool off after wandering in the town.  more »

    Although they have a long ways to go after the hurricanes this is still a gem of an island. Very nice calm water and beach.  more »

    Nice little island with a great beach for snorkeling, or just relaxing. Hotel guests can be a little messy, so I do wish the hotel staff cleaned the beach more often or enforced cleanliness.
