Blog Post - April 9, 2021

Jack's Bay Beach is located on the southeast side of St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

The water was overall calm and crystal clear in certain areas. It did have a lot of seaweed when we visited.

Jack’s Bay Beach is protected by the Nature Conservatory. 

After we parked at the small parking lot at Jack and Isaac Bay Preserve Trailhead, we hiked for about 1.2 miles and made it to the beach. We passed by Isaac's Bay Beach to get there. 

This is a remote beach, so there are no services available. You will need to bring your own food, water, and anything else you might want. We took a small cooler with us to carry our food and drinks.

Because it's remote, it wasn't crowded at all. We only saw one other person on the beach.

This is the view at the trailhead:

The middle of the beach had a lot of seaweed buildup, but keep going because the end of the beach is worth it.
