Northstar Bay Beach

St. Croix

Northstar Bay Beach lies on St. Croix’s North Shore between Davis Bay and Cane Bay—a shore-access stop known more for snorkeling and scuba than soft amenities. Destination guides note a dramatic offshore depth drop and abundant marine life that draw divers from shore or by charter; there are no on-beach restaurants or dive shops (Cane Bay nearby covers those). Park along North Shore Road (Route 80) and do not leave valuables in the car.
