Cane Bay
A famous shore-dive bay on the north coast, where a few hundred meters from shore the reef drops off into a deep wall, and a beach bar keeps the atmosphere lively.
Cane Bay is St. Croix's most renowned shore-diving spot. Swim about 100 meters out from the beach and the seafloor drops steeply from shallow reef into a deep trench, forming a spectacular coral wall. Sea turtles, rays, and large schools of fish are common here. Snorkeling over the shallow reef also reveals plenty of marine life. The bay has dive shops, a beach bar, and restaurants. The beach is narrow, but the mood is relaxed. Entry is free and it is open all day. It is about a 25-minute drive from Christiansted and can be combined with the tide pools at Annaly Bay.
