Sandy Point

February 2, 2016

www.my-stcroix.com

Sandy Point National Wildlife Refuge is the most beautiful and pristine beach on St Croix. his pristine wildlife refuge is only accessible from roughly October through April and only on the weekends until 4pm during those months. Why? It is listed as critical nesting habitat for the endangered Leatherback Sea Turtle.  Leatherbacks, hawksbill and green sea turtles nest there undisturbed and in abundance during the summer months.  Endangered Least Terns (shore birds) place their eggs in the sand. For this reason, it is closed to the public the majority of the time and carefully monitored.  And because of the light impact humans have, it remains one of the most pristine beaches in the Caribbean. There are no facilities, but they have recently paved the once treacherous road out to the beach.  Pack a cooler and spend the day – you won’t be disappointed! But remember to carry out what you carry in – Leave only footprints behind. The turtles thank you.
