Grapetree Beach, St. Croix USVI
There’s nothing more incredible than taking a leisurely stroll along the shoreline of the Caribbean Sea at the break of dawn. The air is cool, the water is calm, and the sun as it hits the crystal, turquoise waters is a marvel to be held by anyone wanting to experience a little magic. It’s a vision to take in the lovely colors and atmosphere of the Caribbean on any vacation; however, one may not be sure where they can drink in all this regal beauty without walking for miles. Luckily, the US Virgin Island of St. Croix offers a spot where you can experience true splendor, and it’s as close as your mind can grasp.
Grapetree Beach is a pristine expanse of sandy beauty that is only rivaled by the marvelous glow of the sea in the morning. If you’re lucky enough to be walking along as the sun begins to rise --or you’re simply an early riser yourself-- then you’ll be able to catch the first rays of the Caribbean sun as it creeps over the clear waters that make the horizon swim. The beach itself is a marvel. For anyone who wants the chance to stretch out and allow the rays of the newly borne sun to wrap them in new light, then Grapetree is just the place to make it happen. The sand is soft and perfect for just lying out and enjoying the warm Caribbean atmosphere of St. Croix.
Another pleasant addition to this beach is the fact that it is almost completely isolated. You’ll be able to stretch out and enjoy the beach to your heart’s content without having to worry about running into raucous teenagers or rowdy tourists. It’s a beach paradise that gives you everything you need to enjoy the natural beauty of the Caribbean. If you’re especially intent on seeing something magical, you’ll be able to catch sight of some sea turtles as they bask in the beauty of the sun. If you’re more of the hands on type, then you should take advantage of the snorkeling that’s at your disposal. The water is calm, serene, and a delight simply be next to. It’s even more of an adventure if you manage to make your way into the soft waters and explore the underwater wildlife that inhabits the smaller reefs on this side of the Caribbean Sea.
There isn’t much in the way of amenities on this expanse of sandy white beach; however, if you’re willing to bring your own provisions, you’ll find that having fun isn’t too far of a stretch for on this fairly secluded marvel. If you’d rather seek out your feastings elsewhere, you’ll be happy to know that there are a number of beaches two miles or less away from this prime Caribbean locale. All you have to do is decide what it is you’re in the mood to sample, and it’s (almost) right at your fingertips. Come enjoy Grapetree Beach; you’ll never be able to forget its beauty and serenity.
