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.

Pelican Cove (also called Cormorant Beach) is a North Shore St. Croix strand a short drive west of Christiansted, lined with palms and backed by resorts and condos including The Palms at Pelican Cove. Long sandy stretches alternate with rockier spots; a nearshore reef supports snorkeling, and currents can run strong—choose swim areas carefully. Resort restaurant/bar amenities are nearby; beach chairs are generally for guests.
