Whistle Beach

Whistle Beach is a tiny, hidden pocket of sand on St. Croix's north-east shore, tucked just a couple of miles outside Christiansted inside the manicured greens of The Buccaneer's golf course. Reachable only by a short walk over a low hill and through the brush, it is the quiet island escape that most visitors sail right past—exactly the kind of secluded, barely-crowded cove that rewards a little effort with a sense of having found your own stretch of the Caribbean. What you gain in privacy you don't pay for in comfort: there are no facilities here at all. This is a deliberately simple, bare-foot beach of soft, fine sand and calm, clear turquoise water—ideal for swimming, floating and snorkeling in peace, provided you bring everything you need and plan to carry it out again.
