Sandy Point National Wildlife Refuge on St. Croix is renowned for its pristine, undeveloped beach, which is a critical nesting site for leatherback sea turtles. Access is generally restricted to daytime hours and closed entirely during nesting season (typically April to August) to protect the turtles. The beach is relatively flat, potentially offering good accessibility, but it's best to check current conditions. Visiting solo is common, as the area is generally safe during open hours. Guided tours may be available through local organizations. The cost to visit is minimal, usually just transportation. A typical visit lasts 2-4 hours to enjoy the beach and observe wildlife (if permitted). Be sure to bring your own supplies, as there are no facilities. Check the refuge's current status before visiting to avoid disappointment.
