For more information, call the St. Croix Environmental Association. There are many day sails and glass bottom boat excursions to this park and the snorkeling is fabulous. The St. Croix Landmarks Society features tours at some of St. Croix's historic homes during February and March. All beaches in the Virgin Islands are open to the public. There are a wide variety of beaches for swimming and snorkeling along the many miles of shoreline.
Weather conditions cause sea conditions to vary significantly.
South shore winds bring in big rolling waves while the north shore remains calm, and vice versa. On stormy days, stay close to shore and watch for a slight rip current that occurs when you see waves breaking over the reefs. If you feel like exploring at length, bring a flotation device and use the buddy system. During the midday hours, the tropical sun can be very dangerous. During the first few days, use a good sun block, and only spend about 20 minutes a day in the sun.
